Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)

LTI is short for Learning Tools Interoperability and allows for seamless connection of web-based applications and content hosted in other platforms.  As an itslearning user, you can use LTI integration to connect apps that support LTI. While itslearning may not supply the apps, it facilitates their use in the platform.

itslearning supports LTI versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.3. However since versions 1.0 and 1.1 are deprecated by 1EdTech since June 2022, any new tool integrations will use version 1.3.

You can see the list of itslearning's certifications in the 1Edtech TrustEd Apps Directory.

How to find apps available

To find the apps available for you to enable, as a system administrator, go to Administration and Manage Apps.

There are three types of apps in itslearning: Modules, Apps and Plugins (read more about the types here). Most of the new tools are available as Apps. 

To see the tool specific set up instructions, go to e.g. Add app, browse the app library, and click on the title of the app.

What if my favourite app is not yet supported?
