## What is LTI?

Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is a standard created by 1EdTech. Its main function is to establish a way of integrating rich learning applications (often remotely hosted and provided through third-party services) with educational platforms.

## LTI 1.3 and its Advantages

LTI 1.3 is the latest version of this standard, and it comes with a new security framework. It uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication and JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for message security. This version provides improved security and added functionalities compared to its predecessors.

## LTI 1.3 Supported LMS Systems

Many Learning Management Systems (LMS) support LTI 1.3. These include, but are not limited to:

- Blackboard
- Canvas
- Moodle

## Integrating with Skillable

Skillable is a tool provider that offers hands on labs. Integrating LMS systems with Skillable via LTI 1.3 involves several steps:

1. **Establishing a secure connection**: This is done using the OAuth 2.0 protocol, where Skillable will authenticate the LMS using a secure sign-in process.
2. **Sending LTI messages**: Once the connection is secure, the LMS can send LTI messages to Skillable. These messages can include various types of data, such as scores or other student data.
3. **Receiving and processing LTI messages**: Skillable receives the LTI message, processes the data, and then sends a response back to the LMS.
4. **Launching labs**: The LMS then launches the labs provided by Skillable to the user.

## Conclusion

LTI 1.3 provides a secure and effective way for LMS systems to integrate with tool providers like Skillable, enhancing the learning experience by providing access to a wide range of educational resources, including labs.
