Learning Objects, Inc. First Ever Basic LTI Consumer and Provider
Learning Objects, Inc, the leading provider of social software for learning and developer of Campus Pack, is the first ever Basic Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) Consumer and Provider. Basic LTI is a new specification from IMS Global Learning Consortium that allows for seamless launch and single sign-on between eLearning systems.
As a Tool Consumer and Provider, Campus Pack may be integrated with other systems as a tool to enhance a school’s existing e-learning environment, or be used as a tool to bring in other Basic LTI tools to a school’s CMS.
"IMS is pleased to recognize Learning Objects' superior commitment to open standards as the first educational software supplier to be certified as both a provider and consumer of Basic LTI applications," said Dr. Rob Abel, Chief Executive of IMS. "This means that Campus Pack offers institutions unparalleled flexibility in integration with the widest possible set of campus systems - allowing Web 2.0 applications to be leveraged inside the educational and IT infrastructure, instead of outside."
