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.

How to embed an LTI tool into your course
You can embed an LTI tool into any page within a course. Check out the instructions below or watch our video on embedding web tools to a course.
Configure your LTI tool
When adding an LTI 1.3 tool to a page, select the LTI tool that has been made available by your account owner.
When editing a content page, select the + and choose Embed, then LTI.
Select an LTI tool from the list of integrations configured by your account owner.
Enter the Launch URL provided by the external tool provider.
Depending upon the tool, they may ask you to provide the Client & Deployment ID.
Enter the Client ID provided into the external tool provider portal.
Enter the Deployment ID provided into the external tool provider portal.
4. Choose how you would like the tool to be displayed:
Launch – learners select a link to open the external tool.
Embed – the external tool displays directly within iQualify.
5. Add instructions or notes for your learners.
6. Select Save.
The Client ID and Deployment ID are used to authenticate the connection between iQualify and the external tool. These values are provided by the external tool provider and may differ depending on the activity or resource you are linking to.
If you're unsure which values to use, contact the administrator of the external tool or the person who configured the LTI integration for your organisation.
