For e-learning it is necessary to use LTI to improve the student and teacher experience!
What is LTI?
LTI stands for Learning Tools Interoperability, making it easy to connect and play a wide variety of external tools, content, and activities available online in your LMS.
Benefits:
- It allows to know the external sources used by people during the training, this, in LMS platforms.
- It releases information about student interactions, allowing other established content creators to screen them.
- Student grades and progress with assignments are also among the information that can be transmitted through LTI.
- Expands the list of tools for student learning.
- Eliminating the need for students to log in to different sites creates a more seamless, consistent, and integrated teaching and learning experience.
