7 Things You Should Know About LTI Advantage

Abstract

LTI Advantage is the next generation of the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard, which was designed to enable plug-and-play integration of educational applications and tools within an institution’s digital learning environment. LTI Advantage features three extensions that enable faster setup and configuration, improved user functionalities, and more advanced security to protect student data. LTI Advantage improves an institution’s digital learning ecosystem by making it more intuitive for faculty to integrate third-party resources, applications, and tools into a course.
