Overview
The OER Commons LTI 1.1 tool allows educators to embed OER Commons content within any Learning Management System that supports LTI 1 or 1.1.
Content Selection
The LTI 1.1 tool allows any educator to browse and embed media objects alongside other content within assignments, or select content which comprises entire modules, lessons, or units. All users are able to search content added to OER Commons Collections. Additionally, users can also browse or search content from Group Shared Folders and personal My Items libraries, if that content has been configured and made available.
Authentication and Account Provisioning
The tool provides automated authentication and new account provisioning, providing users with an "SSO like" experience. The LTI 1.1 key/secret pair can also be configured to automatically add new users to an OER Commons Group.
