Five Reasons Why You Can No Longer Do Without LTI

What Is Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)?

A quick refresher: what exactly is LTI? Learning Tools Interoperability, or LTI for short, is a smart way to directly integrate external learning tools and content into a central system like a Learning Management System (LMS). With LTI, the hassle of multiple logins and separate platforms becomes a thing of the past. Everything learners need is available in one place.

For organizations, this means a more efficient way to offer online courses, training, and other educational content. Employees enjoy the simplicity of having everything presented in their familiar LMS, without needing to log into external platforms again and again.

Never Think Up Another Password Again

Struggling to come up with yet another password? Or do you secretly use the same one for everything? Let’s face it—we’re asked to log in constantly, for nearly everything we do online. And organizations and their employees have had enough.

Remembering another password, filling in another login form, sometimes even dealing with two-factor authentication… it’s exhausting.

In fact, many organizations now require a Single Sign-On (SSO) integration before even considering new software. If you can’t deliver SSO, they won’t work with you. LTI uses SSO to make it all effortless: learners simply log into their LMS and are automatically granted access to their external training—no additional logins, no extra effort.

That saves time, energy, and a whole lot of frustration.

L&D Teams Want Your E-learning in Their Reports

If you’re an L&D Manager, tracking employee progress is a must. Only with the right data can you tell whether your organization’s learning strategy is truly working.

If your training content isn’t integrated with your client’s LMS, it becomes a time-consuming task for them to report who has completed what. L&D teams want less admin work, not more—and with LTI, you can promise exactly that.

With LTI integration, learning progress is automatically visible in your client’s LMS. And on your side as a provider, you’ll also have direct insight into how many participants have completed your training. That saves your client loads of manual work, and gives you a clear view on license usage and results. Everyone wins.

Time to Switch from SCORM to LTI

While SCORM still works, it’s being rapidly overtaken by LTI. The latter is far more flexible, interactive, and modern. Before you know it, SCORM will be obsolete.

Okay, maybe not tomorrow, but the e-learning world is evolving quickly. Thanks to AI, creating high-quality, engaging, and interactive e-learning is easier than ever. And if you want to integrate those experiences seamlessly, LTI is your best friend.

LTI Is the New Standard

Yes, many platforms still support SCORM—for now. But if you want to future-proof your offering and ensure your e-learning can be delivered to any client with ease, you need to make the switch to LTI.

The adoption of LTI (especially in the Netherlands) is already widespread. More and more established and emerging platforms are choosing not to support SCORM at all. It won’t be long before clients demand LTI compatibility from every learning provider. So start now—the earlier you adapt, the further ahead you’ll be.

No More "Click-Next" Learning

The era of "click here, read that, next slide" learning modules is coming to a close. Sure, traditional stand-alone and linear e-learning courses still exist. But deep down, we all know: we can do better. In fact, we have to.

Today’s learners and clients expect smart, flexible, and inspiring solutions. They don’t want to simply follow a course—they want to experience it. And that’s where you come in.

Why stick with outdated modules when you can design learning journeys that truly leave a mark? Combine your theoretical content with smart AI bots that guide, respond, and give feedback. Add in external assessments to deepen learning. Build email flows to activate and motivate learners along the way. Include gamification and real-world assignments to make learning meaningful and fun.

And then? Use LTI to integrate it all seamlessly. That’s the future of learning.
