Optimize Your L&D Program with an LTI Integration for External Content Libraries

Have you invested a lot of time and energy into developing an L&D program for your organization, only to find that the course offerings in your Learning Management System (LMS) are too limited? An LTI integration (Learning Tools Interoperability) offers a powerful solution. In this article, we discuss how you can expand your LMS with e-learning content from external libraries through an LTI integration, creating an integrated and seamless learning environment for both learners and instructors.

What is an LTI Integration and Why is it Important?

An LTI integration is a standard protocol that allows you to easily integrate various learning tools and content libraries with your existing LMS. This integration ensures that different systems can communicate with each other without requiring complex custom solutions. With an LTI integration, you provide your employees with a consistent and user-friendly learning experience.

Benefits of an LTI Integration

  • Easy access with a single login: Thanks to an LTI integration, users can access all necessary learning resources with just one login, significantly enhancing the user experience.
  • Efficiency and time savings through LTI integration: The seamless integration of learning platforms via an LTI connection allows users to find and use information more quickly, supporting learning goals and saving time.
  • Improved learning outcomes through LTI integration: The streamlined learning experience offered by an LTI integration allows employees to fully focus on their learning process, resulting in better outcomes and higher engagement.
  • Centralized storage of learning results: A significant advantage of an LTI integration is that all learning results are centrally stored in the employer's LMS. This makes it easier to generate management reports, ensure compliance, and provide accountability for the progress and performance of employees. This way, you always have a complete and up-to-date overview of all training activities within your organization.

Connecting Your LMS with External Content Libraries via LTI Integration

With an LTI integration, you can not only integrate various internal learning tools but also easily connect external learning platforms and content libraries to your LMS. This allows you to significantly enrich the offerings of your L&D program.

Examples of External LTI Integrations

  • Integrating GoodHabitz training modules into your LMS: Integrate GoodHabitz training modules into your LMS via an LTI integration, ensuring that you always have access to the most up-to-date content. Additionally, you can access the GoodHabitz platform directly from your LMS through Single Sign-On (SSO).
  • EDU-DEX integration for up-to-date course information: By using an LTI integration with EDU-DEX, you can easily access the most recent information on tens of thousands of courses and training programs from hundreds of providers.
  • Integrating Noordhoff content into your LMS: Noordhoff offers a wide range of educational resources that can be directly integrated into your LMS via an LTI connection. This allows you to offer high-quality Dutch educational content without requiring additional technical adjustments.
  • E-learning content from external providers: You can easily integrate e-learning modules from various external providers into your LMS via an LTI integration. This gives you the flexibility to offer a wide range of topics and training programs tailored to the specific needs of your organization.
  • Your own SCORM package via LTI: If you already have your own SCORM packages, you can also offer them in your LMS via an LTI integration. This allows you to seamlessly integrate and manage your own training materials within the existing LMS environment.

By using an LTI integration to incorporate content from external libraries and learning platforms, you can provide your organization with a broader and more diverse range of learning resources, significantly strengthening your L&D program.

Boost Engagement and Learning Outcomes with an LTI Integration

Integrating an LTI connection into your L&D program ensures a seamless and user-friendly learning experience for your employees. This leads to higher engagement in the learning process and better learning outcomes. Additionally, it saves your organization time and resources by enabling various learning tools to communicate efficiently and exchange information.
