Configure LMS to Send Instructor Email Addresses to Hypothesis

Hypothesis relies on being sent the LTI email parameter when an instructor configures and launches an assignment. To enable this the LMS must first be configured to send this parameter at tool launch. Please locate your LMS below for instructions on how to make sure this setting has been configured properly.
