Brightspace and Third-Party Tools
The university has licenses with many third-party tools to support effective teaching and learning within the Brightspace portal. These tools are called "Learning Tools Interoperability", or "LTIs" for short.
What are the benefits of using an LTI versus using the tool outside of Brightspace?
- Your students access the tool directly from your course page instead of having to create a separate account outside of Brightspace. LTIs and Brightspace exchange course information and student identities.
- Most tools provide a single button to sync your course's roster with the tool's.
- Assessment tools can sync scores to the Brightspace gradebook.
