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.).
The tools can range from simple communication applications, such as chat, to domain-specific learning environments, such as publisher products. In other words, if you have an interactive assessment application or virtual chemistry lab, it can be securely connected to an LMS in a standard way without a tool having to develop and maintain custom integrations for each platform.
LTI allows a user to navigate between various learning tools without having to log into each tool. LTI carries information about the user, the platform from which they came, the role of the user, and where they are going.
