What's new in LTI 1.3 Integration
Note: LTI 1.3 Integration is available for Canvas, D2L/Brightspace, Moodle, and Blackboard.
Like previous versions, LTI 1.3 integration enables you and your students to access eLab easily and securely directly through your LMS without an additional login, and seamlessly transfer grades from eLab to your LMS. Our latest release offers the following enhancements:
Institution Level Setup. You no longer need to do individual setup for every instructor. With our Global Key, setup can apply to your entire institution.
Transfer of Raw Scores. LTI 1.3 enables the transfer of raw scores to your LMS.
Improved Grade Syncing. Upgrades to the LTI framework will result in fewer situations where grades do not sync, reducing the frequency of manual grade syncing.
Enhanced Security. LTI 1.3 meets the new IMS Security Framework requirements, which include the industry standard protocol IETF OAuth 2.0 for authentication services and JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure message signing. It also adopts the Open ID Connect workflow paradigm.
Improved Support for Manual Grade Transfers. Occasionally issues occur which prevent the automated transfer of grades from eLab to your LMS. Examples of issues include a student bypassing your LMS and logging directly into eLab, and situations where your LMS might be experiencing downtime (as noted above the LTI 1.3 release should lessen the frequency of these occurrences.)
Previously, these issues required confirming the issue via eLab Technical Support, and then waiting until our development team could address it. With this release, you can now:
-
Verify grade transfers from your eLab instructor dashboard – no need to contact eLab Technical Support to confirm that grades did or did not transfer.
-
Respond immediately to students who report that their grade is not showing up in their LMS.
-
Get a faster response on requests for manual transfer of grades to your LMS. Our response times for manual grade transfers has been reduced to within 24 business hours.
