Hello Chris,
As mdthomas stated, we have been working with RedShelf for over a year now and it has been going very well. During the first semester we had only one course section participating in the Inclusive Access (IA) program with RedShelf and McGraw-Hill Connect. Our office worked very closely with the book store, McGraw-Hill and the course instructor to create the necessary instructions for students as well as a statement to be included in the syllabus for classes participating in the IA program. The new LTI integration as developed by RedShelf will add the tool link to the course navigation menu and is enabled by default. I have customized the code to disable the tool link; this way instructors participating in the program can enable the tool link as needed. In Spring 2018 semester we used the "new" LTI integration and it worked very well with no problems.
Here are example of the instruction pages we add to participating courses:
Required Course Materials - McGraw-Hill Connect - Google Docs
Create/Register your account with Connect - Google Docs
Opt Out Instructions - Google Docs
To create the customized LTI tool for RedShelf, I used the "Paste XML" option and added the XML Configuration code listed below.
I hope you find this helpful, please let me know if you have any questions or if i can be of further assistance.
