Plugins are extensions to the Rich Text Editor that can be found throughout itslearning. This extension type is suited if your tool also the user to select content that can be included in a document, such as images or videos. Think of them as add-ons that can be found in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. If this content makes more sense as stand-alone resource, the type Application is a better fit.

Plugins require the tool provider to implement the LTI Advantage extension Deep Linking. Currently itslearning only supports the Content Item Type 'LTI Resource Link' (https://www.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-dl/v2p0#content-item-types).
