What is LTI?

LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) is an education technology specification developed by the IMS Global Learning Consortium.

It allows an LMS (such as Moodle, Canvas, or D2L) to securely receive course content and tools from an external server.

Why does WCLN use LTI?

• • Courses are more up-to-date and students benefit immediately with new games, projects, videos, etc...
  • If one teacher reports an error, everybody benefits (as a consortium should).
  • Although reporting errors takes time, the individual effort to keep courses current is reduced.
  • Teacher ideas for improvement find their way to the Discussion Forum for conversation (Pro-D interactions). 

New Terminology

As we move to the SF LTI, many things in our courses will look the same but layout will be a tad different and we'll get used to new terminology.
