Learning Tools Interoperability
On this page, you can find overview and setup information about Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI). For information about managing LTIs, such as LTI role mapping or managing tools through Institutional Hierarchy (such as creating multiple deployments of the same LTI tool), go to Managing LTIs.
What is LTI?
Learning Tools Interoperability is a standard developed by IMS Global that allows you to integrate third-party resources into Blackboard in a secure and seamless way.
In just a few steps you can enable instructors and students to include LTI links in their courses. Links will act as gateways to gamified learning activities, virtual science experiments, immersive 360° virtual field trips, or any of the hundreds of LTI-certified tools available.
LTI enables users to move smoothly between resources without having to leave Blackboard. Forget about logging into multiple sites or retrieving grades manually: LTI allows a secure exchange of information that enables a cohesive experience for your users. LTI Advantage / LTI v1.3 tools can also define whether grades should auto-post to students.
By expanding the capabilities of LMSs, LTI paves the way for achieving a plug-and-play, future-ready digital learning ecosystem.
