Why BasicLTI?

¢  Same tool functionality has to be coded for multiple LMS platforms.

¢  Requires vendor specific knowledge on how to build a tool (or ‘module’, or‘ buildingblock’) and incorporate it in a specific LMS.

¢  The proprietary interfaces are very similar but different. And involve high costs of integrating.

¢  BasicLTI provides a simple common plugin system.
