1EdTech FAQs

1EdTech's LTI standard is a technical standard (not a product) used to connect learning tools with an institution's learning environment without logging into each tool. LTI supports a high level of security for passing data about the users, their institutional enrollment, and roles.

LTI Advantage is a package of three essential end-user services that builds on LTI 1.3, leveraging the security of LTI 1.3 and providing the ability to implement features that support key teaching and learning activities.

• Assignment and Grade Services (AGS) provides a way to create a gradebook column and post grades associated with a resource link.

• Names and Role Provisioning Services 2.0 (NRPS) provides access to data about users and their roles within organizations; a school, platform (LMS), or course are examples of an organization. 

• Deep Linking 2.0 (DL) allows a teacher or platform (LMS) user to integrate content gathered from an external tool. Using this service, platform users can launch a URI specified by the digital curriculum supplier (external tool), select specific content, and then receive a URI that other users can use to launch directly to that content.
