34-020 LTI page module

What you need to know

LTI stands for LearningToolsInteroperability. The LTI page course element offers you an interface with which you can display learning content from other systems in your course that is not actually part of OpenOlat. This is used, for example, to integrate courses from other learning management systems or learning applications that run on a different server, such as a chat, media wiki or virtual lab.

When using the LTI learning content, it should be noted that although the content is displayed in the OpenOlat user interface, the participants' activities take place on a different system. Personalised data such as user name or email address can be transferred to the individual tools. Conversely, the tools can report a score back to the OpenOlat course for assessable activities. If the LTI page is configured so that the content is displayed in the OpenOlat user interface, participants may not even realise that they are working on an external system.

When LTI learning content is integrated into OpenOlat, data is passed on to external systems. Therefore, the external tools are generally blocked by the OpenOlat security settings. If you want to integrate an LTI 1.1 or an LTI 1.3 that is not listed in this description, please contact elearning@uibk.ac.at.
