Automate course access with LTI and Magic Link
Manually managing access to e learning content can be time consuming and error prone. For training providers and corporate trainers who deliver content to multiple clients, each using their own Learning Management System, this challenge becomes even more demanding. Enrolling users, managing passwords and ensuring smooth access all take up valuable time that could be better spent on creating strong learning experiences.
Linqur specialises in simplifying this process. We provide a platform that helps e learning providers integrate, manage and distribute their content across any LMS with ease. In this article we explain how you can automate access to your courses using two practical solutions: LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) and Magic Link. You will see how these approaches save time and significantly improve the experience for both clients and learners.
What is LTI and why it is almost indispensable
Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is a standard that enables online learning tools and content from different vendors to be integrated into an LMS. In simple terms, LTI allows your e learning course to function as a plug and play solution within your client’s LMS. Users can launch the course directly from their familiar learning environment without needing to log in separately.
The benefits of LTI for content providers are substantial:
- Seamless user experience: Learners access external content as if it were a native part of their own LMS
- Broad compatibility: LTI is supported by nearly all modern LMS platforms, maximising integration options
- Central control: You retain control over your content. Updates are immediately available to all clients
Your content in every LMS with the Linqur LTI Provider Service
While LTI is the integration standard, setting up an LTI connection can be technically challenging. Linqur removes this complexity with the LTI Provider Service. This solution allows you to share your SCORM packages with clients through an LTI connection without requiring in depth knowledge of LTI protocols.
With the Linqur LTI Provider Service you achieve smooth integration while maintaining full control over your learning offering. There is no need to migrate to a new LMS. You continue using your existing systems. The Linqur platform acts as the bridge between your content and your client’s LMS, enabling you to scale easily and extend your reach.
Direct access without an LMS: the power of Magic Link
What if your client does not have an LMS? Or what if you want to grant a group of learners quick access without the administrative overhead of a full learning platform? For these situations Linqur offers a straightforward yet powerful solution: Magic Link.
Magic Link provides a smart way to give learners access to courses without passwords. The process is simple. You send a link to the participant, they register using their email address and gain immediate access. It is a fast, secure and user friendly method, ideal when a full LMS is unnecessary.
The benefits of Magic Link
The Magic Link solution is designed for efficiency and ease of use, for both you and the end user.
- No passwords, no frustration: Learners do not need to remember credentials. One click and a short email based registration is enough
- Suitable for clients without an LMS: Offer courses to organisations or groups without their own learning platform. Magic Link works as a standalone access point
- Scalable and efficient: Whether you grant access to a few participants or thousands of users, Magic Link scales effortlessly
- Full visibility: All learner progress and results are stored centrally in the Linqur platform, giving you continuous insight
Two variants for maximum flexibility
Magic Link is available in two variants, allowing you to align access control with your specific needs.
Email specific link
With this option a Magic Link is tied to a single email address. Only the person using that address can register. This is ideal when you want to know exactly who is taking the course and prevent access from being shared.
General link
This link allows anyone with access to it to register. It is well suited for open courses or scenarios where you want to reach a broad audience without sending individual invitations.
Manage everything from one central platform
Whether you use LTI or Magic Link, the Linqur platform provides all the tools you need to manage content and users from one place. Every feature is designed to integrate smoothly with your existing processes.
The dashboard
Monitoring matters. The Linqur dashboard gives you a clear overview of course usage. You can review statistics, compare monthly activity and export reports for management or billing purposes. This keeps you informed at all times.
The API
Do you want to integrate LTI more deeply into your own systems? The Linqur API allows you to connect existing platforms and automate workflows. Create API keys and link external systems to manage user enrolments or create LTI tools directly from your own application. This enables fully automated processes tailored to your setup.
The next step toward automated course access
Manually managing access to e learning is no longer sustainable in a competitive market. By adopting automated solutions such as LTI and Magic Link you increase efficiency, reduce costs and deliver a better user experience. Linqur makes these technologies accessible, even without technical expertise.
With the LTI Provider Service you integrate your content into any LMS with ease. Magic Link offers a low threshold option for direct access. Both approaches give you control and insight, all managed from one central and user friendly platform.
