LTI 1.3 Core
LTI 1.3 Core focusses on the basic communication between the platform and the tool. A common use case would be to grant access to your tool, content or service without the need for the user to log in again. There are also several ways within LTI 1.3 Core that allow you to handle licenses.
LTI Advantage
LTI Advantage is complementary to LTI 1.3 Core. It contains 3 optional extensions that generally speaking allow for a deeper integration with the itslearning platform:
LTI Advantage Extension | Description | Example scenario |
---|---|---|
Names and Role Provisioning Services | Most commonly a tool is used within the context on an itslearning course. This is where one or more teachers offer a subject to students. With the extension Names and Role Provisioning Services the tool can ask itslearning who the members of the course are and what their role in this course is. The main addition this service offers to LTI 1.3 Core is that you can also get an overview of the users that haven't launched to the tool yet. |
|
Deep Linking | The Deep Linking extension allows the tool to return a URL to itslearning which points to a unique resource on the side of the tool provider. This is the go-to extension if the tool allows the user to create or select content. Currently itslearning only supports the Content Item Type 'LTI Resource Link' (https://www.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-dl/v2p0#content-item-types). |
|
Assignment and Grade Services | The Assignment and Grade Services allow the tool to return progress or even a grade (or result) to itslearning. With the progress, the tool can interact with the task list of itslearning, |
