LTI Integration

• The academic gets to choose which list or section of a list they want to link to.

• The academic can even edit the list from within the Learning Management System.

• The student is presented with relevant content as directed by the academic, but the student can still navigate to the full list.

• The LTI tool will try to ‘best guess’ which list the student will see even if the academic hasn’t chosen a specific list.

• The list content can be embedded within the learning environment, though the exact method for this varies depending on the way that different Learning Management Systems embed external tool content.
