Deep linking a deck#

Deep linking is the LTI 1.3 feature that lets you pick a specific deck from inside the LMS assignment editor. The LMS handles the navigation; Meletema handles the deck picker.

In the LMS#

The flow varies a little by LMS, but the pattern is the same:

1. Create a new assignment, quiz, or "external tool" item.
2. Choose Meletema as the external tool.
3. Click the "Select content" / "Find an external resource" button.
4. The LMS opens Meletema in a popup or new window.

In Meletema#

You land on a deck-picker view that lists every deck in any organization you belong to.

• Search by deck title in the search field at the top.
• Toggle the Send grades back to my LMS switch above the deck list. Defaults to ON. Turn it off for ungraded practice decks.
• Click a deck to pick it.

The popup closes and the LMS now has the deck linked to that assignment.

What happens for students#

When a student opens that assignment in the LMS:

1. They click into the assignment.
2. The LMS launches Meletema in an embedded or popup window.
3. Meletema silently:
   • Creates or matches their account from the LTI identity.
   • Enrolls them in the Section that represents that LMS course.
   • Loads the play view for the linked deck.
4. The student plays the deck.
5. When they finish, Meletema posts the score back to the LMS gradebook.

The first time a section is launched, Meletema auto-creates a Section record. You can see all sections under Your org → Sections.

If you forgot to deep-link#

If a student launches into an assignment that no deck has been linked to, they'll see a "Not configured yet" page. For LTI 1.1 (which has no deep linking), instructors get a deck picker on first launch instead.
