What is LTI?
Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is an initiative which uses a standard protocol for establishing a trusted relationship between the tool provider and the learning management system. This allows us to have a more seamless experience of using an application within the context of the course (e.g. don't have to re sign in to the tool separately).
For more on LTI, see LTI from IMS Global Learning.
Some examples of LTI tools you might want to integrate
Zoom
H5P
Panopto
Note: iQualify supports LTI 1.0 Basic and will send user and context fields so that different class activations will each have their own instance of the embedded item. Be sure to check the tool you're embedding also fully supports the standard if this is important.
