  2. Outline • Introduction • Background to the ceLTIc project • What problem does LTI solve • Example • Stirling dimension • A larger problem • Questions

  3. ceLTIc project • Project: • “Creating Environments for Learning using Tightly Integrated Components” • JISC funded (July 2010 – Dec 2011) • Aim: • integration of elearning applications with VLE/LMS using IMS Learning Tools Interoperability • Project partners: • The University of Edinburgh, University of Stirling, Queen Margaret University • Commercial partners: • IMS, Blackboard Inc, Learning Objects Inc and Pebble Learning Ltd • Case studies: • Elgg, WebPA, PebblePad, Campus Pack

  4. What problem does LTI solve? • Answer: connecting a VLE (Succeed) to a 3rd party application securely in a standard manner • Example of 3rd party application: Turnitin is accessed via a ‘building block’. When in WebCT we used a ‘PowerLink’ --- very different bits of technology. Thus Turnitin maintain several different code bases for different VLEs (Moodle, Desire2Learn)

  5. What problem does LTI solve? • LTI links to 3rd party application in same way from any VLE that supports LTI (Learn 9.0, WebCT, Moodle, …) • Simple to set up: • URL • Consumer key (unique identifier) • Secret (secures) • WordPress Example • http://jura.stir.ac.uk/?lti • learn.dev.stir.ac.uk • edufair

  6. What problem does LTI solve? • Offers ability to Single Sign-On • Can provisions accounts • Can provisions blogs (in WordPress) or other objects in other applications. Groups in Elgg. • LTI v1.1 has outcomes services that can transfer grades from 3rd party system to Grade Centre

  7. Real World (Stirling) • Cleanliness Champions • Authentic Word • Psychology ‘experiment’ sign-up

  8. Another Problem (ceLTIc II) • Imagine you had created a useful application that would be used on a wide-scale (many institutions) at varing levels of engagement but some quite small • LTI requires a unique consumer key (so you know which institution is connecting) and (ideally) a unique identifier for an individual with that institution.

  9. Benefits • Benefits for learners and tutors: • seamless integration of VLE/LMS and external products • empowerment of tutors • Benefit for administrators/developers: • administrative efficiencies • single integration will support any VLE/LMS
