LTI Outcomes / Ideas

  • LTI Freedom (Platform extensibility)

    • Increase integration points for extending the platform via standard LTI

      • Discussions

      • Arbitrary tabs

    • Increase tools that support LTI

      • Create LTI provider wrappers for edX tools so they can be used in more places on the platform

  • LTI Features

    • Graded support for LTI Consumer xBlock for 1.3 specification

    • Which outcomes do we need to consider for other LTI Advantage Services?

      • Roles/Provisioning

      • Deep Linking

  • LTI Discovery

    • LTI Application Directory for Open edX

      • CourseGraph discovery for tools being used @Robyn Belair (Deactivated)

    • LTI Application Directory for edX.org

  • LTI Authoring & Developer efficiency

    • edX (uses LTI application directory) to simplify LTI integrations in the course

      • Simplified or pre-canned configuration for popular components

    • Omar’s idea: LTI “wrappers” for various types of learning applications

      • DSG did this for Zoom I believe

  • LTI IMS certification

    • 1.1

    • 1.3

    • Advantage

Open Tasks
