You can make learning activities that were made in your online academy available in other online learning systems, through LTI. It is also possible to make learning activities from other online learning systems available in your learning environment.
LTI handles the entire integration process, including user creation, enrollment, and Single Sign-On. It is also possible to transfer the activity progress from your online academy to other online learning systems.
We support the following versions of LTI:
LTI 1.2
LTI 1.3

Advanced LTI
Additionally, it is important that the other learning platform sends certain credentials along with the LTI. These are necessary to allow the user to successfully access the learning activities. Most LTI integrations have these credentials set correctly, by default. Therefore, you don't need to make any adjustments for systems like Moodle, as the correct credentials are already sent.
Are you using a custom LTI integration? Then, it is important to ensure that the following credentials (parameters) are sent correctly:
Email
LTI Parameter key: lis_person_contact_email_primary
Required?: Yes
Used for: Finding an existing user or creating a new user
First name
LTI Parameter key: lis_person_name_given
Required?: Yes
Used for: Creating a new user when they do not already exist
Last name
LTI Parameter key: lis_person_name_family
Required?: Yes
Used for: Creating a new user when they do not already exist
User id
LTI Parameter key: user_id
Required?: Yes
Used for: Creating a new user when they do not already exist. The external ID will be created as the ID in your learning environment.
