LTI: endless possibilities for your eLearning ecosystem
Why LTI? This is the central question of this white paper. In addition to the existing possibilities of an LMS, what advantages does LTI offer, and the ability to deploy all kinds of learning content?
With the IMS Global Learning Consortium’s Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard, you can easily plug-and-play a wide range of external tools, learning content and learning activities available online within your LMS or ELO. These tools are also called?EduApps.?A known disadvantage of SCORM, another well-known learning standard sourced from the U.S. Department of Defense, is that packages must be created in external tools and uploaded to the LMS, which can lead to content management issues. SCORM has now been replaced by xAPI and CMI-5. These new learning standards also come from the American Department of Defense. These new standards have been created by a consortium of users and suppliers called?LETSI?based on actual user requirements and business cases.
