2025-09-23 Meeting notes (Working session lti-tool-plugin)

Compatibilty

• They have tag requirements and use wrappers to import from the platform (Olive).

  • We need to check this to make it compatible with the latest version.

• Dependencies:

  • Uses Django templates and learning mfe.

  • It doesn’t depend on Pearson applications.

Configuration

• There are several waffle flags to configure (in the readme).

  • Enable it with the tutor plugin.

• They use PyLTI 1.3 to exchange credentials as a tool platform.

• Note: we should expose the domain or have the tool and the platform on the same network (e.g., both in local).

• When registering the tool in other LMSs, use the provided links from the README.

  • We can launch multiple times or reuse a launch with different content (using deep linking). However, if we use deep linking, it only supports launching courses.

Known issues:

• Launch in an iframe → cookie error.

  • The recommendation is to launch in a new window.

Documentation is out of date

• Also, we need to document some decisions:

  • Grading handle

  • Security and auth
