WHAT IS IT?

Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) Advantage is the newest and most advanced way to integrate with an LMS. Built on the LTI 1.3 standard by IMS Global, LTI Advantage allows McGraw Hill to develop a tool that takes our integration to the next level for our instructors and students.

 

WHY UPGRADE TO LTIA?

Features:  

  • Consistent LMS integration functionality for Connect, which includes single sign-on (SSO), assignment-level linking, and gradebook sync 
  • Automatic account creation for new Connect users   
  • Increased security between Connect course and LMS course 
  • Easier to set up for both students and faculty and provides more consistency across provider implementations 
  • Improved Connect grade sync functionality with resync at student and assignment level and automatic 0 after due date 
  • Meets industry-wide standards and roadmap for easier updates to stay current with the latest technology
  • Depreciation by IMS Global of the older standards, which is leading to the sunsetting of building blocks by Blackboard.
