LTI 1.3 as the standard for integration
We are pleased to see that so many LMS and content providers are upgrading to LTI 1.3. We strive to always provide safe, efficient, and innovative tools. Therefore, we are pleased to inform you about an important upgrade concerning our integration standards.
Ensuring the security of your data is a priority for us. That’s why we follow 1Edtech, publisher of the LTI standard, in their advice to use LTI 1.3 as a safe standard for our online learning platform. This means that, in line with the upgrade of our new online learning platform Inspire, we will henceforth exclusively support the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) 1.3 standard for all updates. This transition means that support for previous versions, including LTI 1.1 and 1.2, are no longer supported.
The benefits of this LTI integration:
- Enhanced security: LTI 1.3 meets the necessary security requirements, significantly improving the security of data exchanges between tools and platforms.
- Improved performance: The update to LTI 1.3 optimises efficiency, resulting in faster response times and a smoother user experience.
- Future-proof: LTI 1.3 is designed to accommodate future updates and features, thus minimising disruptions to existing integrations and keeping our platform at the forefront of educational technology.
- Richer feature set: With supporting functionalities such as Deep Linking and Names and Role Provisioning Services, LTI 1.3 offers a more personalised and manageable educational experience.
- Improved monitoring: LTI 1.3 allows for smoother collaboration and more accurate monitoring of progress across various learning platforms and tools. With features such as LTI Advantage, tracking progress and reporting results is easier.
Embracing LTI 1.3 is an important step in our joint goal of creating a safe and efficient learning environment. We are aware of the impact this transition may have on users of LTI 1.1 and 1.2. Should this be the case for your organisation, we can work together to find the right approach to start using standard LTI 1.3.
