Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) facilitates the seamless integration of external applications, specifically those available without cost to the user, into learning management systems (LMS). A prevalent instance of this involves embedding video content from a widely used video-sharing platform into course modules. This integration allows educators to augment their curricula with publicly accessible educational videos, enhancing the learning experience without incurring additional costs.
The incorporation of openly available materials via LTI offers significant advantages. It expands the range of resources available to instructors, providing access to diverse perspectives and subject matter expertise. Moreover, utilizing openly licensed video platforms can reduce or eliminate copyright concerns associated with sharing video content within a closed educational environment. This approach promotes cost-effectiveness and broader access to educational materials, benefiting both instructors and students.
