Notes on proposal for LTI1.3 Provider tool:

Current pain points: Current LTI provider is not robust enough, the UX/workflow is not user-friendly, it’s too cumbersome for courses with multiple subsections generating links, it’s not upgraded for 1.3

User needs: Schools want to be able to include OEX content in their offerings for many kinds of tech certifications but don’t want to be stuck in the Enterprise offering. Need to be able to easily export/share at the subsection level and integrate subsections to Canvas or other LMS.

Scope: Upgrade LTI Provider tool to 1.3 and improve UX design and workflows.

Impacts:

-Need to stay competitive with other LMS providers.

-Critical functionality for users who wish to use OEX as their primary authoring environment

-Critical functionality for OEX interoperability narrative
