Why upgrade?
Switching from LTI 1.1 to the newer integration protocol LTI Advantage (LTI 1.3) provides several advantages:
- Ease of integration. Make one connection between courses rather than assignment to assignment. (Individual assignments are still accessible.)
- Synchronization. Changes to due dates, point totals, and assignment names are all updated automatically in your LMS.
- Improved student experience. Students can move from assignment to assignment with Edfinity, rather than returning to the LMS for each new assignment.
- Inclusive access options. Institutions can be charged based on active enrollments after a free drop period. For more information, contact us at hello@edfinity.com.
-
Support for extra credit on assignments. Scores of greater than 100% are permitted.
When to upgrade
Existing courses cannot be upgraded from LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3. However, the new integration can be set up by administrators at any time and will not stop the older-style integrations from working.
How to upgrade
Administrators can follow the installation guide for their LMS. Installation can typically be done in less than ten minutes.
