Before you make tools from an external site available through your course, be
21
-
sure to review the tools to ensure that they are accessible to people with
22
-
disabilities. For example, in addition to testing the LTI components that you
23
-
add to your course, you can ask third party providers to confirm that a tool is
24
-
accessible, and, if available, contact your on campus accessibility support
25
-
services for additional guidance. For more information, see :ref:`Accessibility

You can use an LTI component in several ways.

The LTI component enhances the learning experience by enabling integration between the LMS and external tools. It can be used in several ways.
33
26
34
-
* You can add remote LTI tools that display content only, and that do
35
-
not require a learner response. An example is a digital copy of a textbook in
36
-
a format other than PDF.
27

* **Embed External Learning Tools:** Integrate third-party tools, such as coding platforms, simulations, and adaptive learning systems, directly into your LMS.

38

* You can add remote LTI tools that do require a learner response. A remote
39

LTI tool provider grades the responses.
29

* **Facilitate Interactive Learning & Assessments:** Allow students to engage with external quizzes, assignments, and interactive exercises, with grading handled by the tool provider.

41

* You can use the LTI component as a placeholder for synchronizing with a

remote grading system.
31

* **Synchronize Grades with External Systems:** Ensure automatic grade synchronization between an LTI tool and the LMS gradebook.
32
+
33

* **Support Video Conferencing & Collaboration:** Integrate virtual classrooms and peer review tools to foster engagement and collaboration.
