About Learning Tools Interoperability standards support
Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is a proposed standard for passing user, organization, and course information between learning management systems (Tool Consumers) and learning tools, such as wikis, simulations, assessment tools, protected content, etc. (Tool Providers).
Learning Environment supports LTI 1.0 and 1.1. This support entails:
- Management interfaces to define integrations to external learning tools (Tool Providers) and to create links.
- New Quicklink type to allow links to Tool Providers to be easily incorporated throughout Desire2Learn courses.
- Links to external learning tools that can send user, organization, and course context information for a personalized experience in the tool. Single-sign-on to learning tools is supported through an OAuth framework using a key/secret shared between the external learning tool and the configured link in Learning Environment.
- Management tools to configure mapping from Desire2Learn roles to IMS roles, and from Desire2Learn org unit types to IMS context types.
