What are Learning Tools for Interoperability or LTI
Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is a standard developed by IMS Global Learning Consortium, which allows courseware and learning tools from different vendors to be launched within a learning platform, often an LMS. The LTI integration allows the student to move seamlessly from one tool to the other, with minimal effort from instructors or students.
The primary use of LTI allows the seamless connection between a web-based tool that is outside of the learning platform. LTI provides the mechanism that allows users (such as a student) to navigate among various tools while maintaining a high-level of security for passing data about the user, the place they come from, and their role (e.g., faculty, student, TA, etc.).
and deprecating its functionality, we’re seeing a lot of universities and colleges considering alternative solutions for the features that possibly won't be a part of the replaceable New Quizzes. In this article we’re looking at graded and ungraded surveys used by instructors in courses. We’ll offer a solution that works through two platforms which are likely already purchased and in-use at your institution. We’ll describe the option through our partner Qualtrics and our own Qualtrics LTI for Canvas, allowing instructors to embed surveys as Canvas assignments.
