When a user launches a Gem or Notebook from the Gemini LTI in Canvas for the first time, their role and permissions in the Gemini item is determined by the Canvas course role the user has at that moment.
Gemini LTI is Configured for Yale Google Accounts
Users must use a Yale Eli Apps Google account. Personal / non-Yale Google accounts are not accepted and will fail to load the Gemini LTI tool in Canvas @ Yale. If you do not have a Yale Eli Apps account, please contact the ITS Help Desk or your school’s IT support service.
Request Access to Gemini LTI for Fall 2026 / Spring 2027
Please indicate your interest in using Gemini LTI for the Fall 2026 or Spring 2027 term. Please complete the AI & Ed Tech Pilot form once for each tool you are interested in requesting, and you can indicate up to 2 courses per submission. While completing this form is not a guarantee, we will make ever effort to provide licenses for next year.
Note: The Gemini LTI does not continuously compare the Google permission list with the Canvas course role. A user must click the Canvas link to be added.
A user's permissions on the Gem / Notebook can be changed manually in the Gemini item by updating its Sharing permissions. Changes made manually to a user's permissions will not be overriden by the Gemini LTI when a user launches the item from Canvas subsequent times.
So a TA in Canvas can be manually switched from Editor to Viewer on a Gem / Notebook, and those changes will be kept until manually changed again.
