Made with DASH A.i.ALTA's Education and LTI Overview page introduces the conceptual foundation for how ALTA's tools connect to LMS platforms through the LTI standard. LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) is an industry standard that allows external tools — like ALTA's assessments — to launch securely from within an LMS (such as Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or similar platforms) without requiring separate logins or manual data transfers.
Why this matters:
- Educators and administrators can embed ALTA assessments directly inside their LMS course shells.
- Student results and progress can flow back to the LMS gradebook automatically.
- A single secure "handshake" between the LMS and ALTA handles authentication, so learners don't need separate credentials.
If you are new to LTI, think of it as a secure bridge: the LMS is the road, ALTA's tool is the destination, and LTI is the bridge that connects them — passing along who the user is and what course they belong to.
