LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability)

A standard that lets a learning platform launch external tools — like an assessment platform — from inside an LMS.

What is LTI?

LTI — Learning Tools Interoperability — is an education standard (maintained by 1EdTech) that lets a learning management system (LMS) securely launch an external tool and pass information to it. A student can click a link in their LMS and be taken straight into an assessment, with their identity and context carried across, and scores passed back.

For an assessment platform, LTI means slotting neatly into the tools an institution already uses, without separate logins or manual roster management. Synap supports LTI alongside modern options like SSO and its API — see integrations.
