LTI-Tool
The course element LTI Tool is intended for the integration of external learning applications into the learning platform. The abbreviation LTI stands for Learning Tool Interoperability. Using this course element, you can integrate external software such as an external chat, a MediaWiki, a test editor, or a virtual chemistry laboratory into a course.
Usage: Learners' View
If you open the course element LTI Tool , the content will directly be displayed in the course content area. Alternatively, depending on the configuration of the tool by the author, it might also be the case that the button Open in new window pops up.
Clicking this button will open the external learning application in a new browser tab. In the background, necessary login and user data will be safely submitted to and evaluated by the integrated learning application according to the author's configuration.

To integrate a course element into your course, proceed as follows:
1 | Open the course you want to edit. Use the pencil icon at the top of the page to open the editing mode. |
|
2 | Select a course element from the menu on the right. |

3 | In the new window, you can define the position of the new course element within your course structure (left navigation pane). The available positions are marked with an insert icon. To insert the new course element into an existing substructure, you need to open the substructure by clicking on the small triangle symbol next to its title. The area will open and you will again see insert icons at the positions which are available. Click on the insert icon at the desired position within the structure. The selected area will be highlighted. Confirm your choice with Insert course element. |

4 | The element will be inserted into the course structure at the selected position. Depending on the course element, you have to make additional configurations or add content in order to complete the configuration. For these changes to take effect, you must publish the course. The course element will then also become available in the course view. |
