Warpwire in Populi

Warpwire provides integrated plugins to view and manage media within your LMS. Our seamless LTI integration means that all of Warpwire is accessible from within Populi. There are no accounts to create. Warpwire integrates with your institution's Single Sign-On system — giving every account access to Warpwire to securely view and manage video according to defined role and group permissions.

Best of all, every feature of Warpwire is easily accessible from within Populi: capture video, upload, organize, tag, and share. We’ve built Warpwire to function the same way no matter your point of access.

Warpwire Configuration Settings

First, you'll need the configuration URL in order to configure the Warpwire tool. Go to the tool setup page at: https://[YOUR-WARPWIRE-URL]/p/configureLTI/. You will replace "YOUR-WARPWIRE-URL" with your institution's domain, which has been provided to you by Warpwire. For example, if your Warpwire site is located at: https://warpwire.example.com", your [YOUR-WARPWIRE-URL] would be "warpwire.example.com".

On the the Warpwire LTI Configuration page, you will see a collection of settings for configuring the tool. While we recommend you keep everything as the default, you can modify the configuration settings to fit the needs at your organization.

Once in the course, you can easily add the newly installed Warpwire tool throughout the course. On any page in Populi that allows you to add a link, you can also add the Warpwire Media Library tool.

Now when a student clicks on the link, it will automatically create the student’s account and will automatically add the student to the course. It will also give them access to the Media Library.
