404 Error - Not found
Error Code Cause
This is caused by the customer either using an incorrectly formed link or using an incorrect VBID. This is often due to using the print ISBN rather than the VBID or using an alternative ISBN. Sometimes the existing reference ID for an instructor account does not match what is currently getting passed via LTI.
Solution
