Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is an education technology specification developed by 1EdTech. It specifies a method for a learning management system (LMS) to invoke and communicate with external systems, enabling a seamless and secure integration of external tools, content, and activities into the LMS without requiring learners to log in separately on the external systems.
To integrate Edfinity with Blackboard:
- With the assistance of your LMS administrator, set up Edfinity in Blackboard as an external tool.
- Connect to your Edfinity course from within Blackboard.
Supported LTI versions
1EdTech dropped support for LTI 1.1 on June 30, 2022. While Edfinity does support LTI 1.1, we highly recommend that you use the LTI Advantage 1.3 integration. LTI 1.3 offers a number of benefits, including improved security and advanced integration features which ease course setup and management.
If you still need to integrate using LTI 1.1, the documentation can be found here.
