Why Upgrade to LTI 1.3?

The upgrade to LTI 1.3 comes with several advantages that are relevant for any organization using an LTI integration:

  • Improved Security: LTI 1.3 utilizes the latest security standards, such as OAuth 2.0 and JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure message processing. This ensures robust protection of sensitive and personally identifiable information (PII) exchanged between platforms and tools. You can read more about this in the 1EdTech documentation on LTI 1.3.
  • Simplified Upgrade Path: Since LTI 1.3 is based on LTI 1.1, it is easier for most organizations to upgrade. LTI 1.3 offers compatibility with existing LTI 1.1 services, allowing for a smooth transition without requiring major changes. Learn more about the differences between LTI 1.1 and LTI 1.3 in our detailed blog article.

Benefits of LTI 1.3 for your LTI Integration

By upgrading to LTI 1.3, you can get more out of your LTI integration:

  1. Security and Confidentiality: With LTI 1.3, data exchanges are better protected, which is essential in an era where data privacy is a top priority. Organizations can trust that communication between their LMS and external tools is safe and reliable.
  2. Enhanced User Experience: LTI 1.3 introduces new features such as Deep Linking and Grade Syncing, which make it easier for instructors to manage content and synchronize learning outcomes. These features improve efficiency and reduce the likelihood of errors.
  3. Flexibility and Scalability: The modernization of the security model allows LTI 1.3 to evolve more easily without core-specific changes, ensuring that your platform stays up-to-date with the latest technologies.
