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. With it, you can integrate external software such as an external chat, a Mediawiki, a test editor, or a virtual chemistry lab into the course.
Use from the learner's perspective
Depending on the author's configuration, opening the LTI Tool course element will either display the content in the course content area or display the Open in new window button.
Clicking this button opens the external learning application in a new browser tab. Based on the author's configuration, the required login and user data are securely transmitted to the integrated learning application in the background and processed there. For an overview of data transmission, see the page Data- and Parameter transmission.

To integrate a course element into your course, proceed as follows:
| Open the course you want to edit. Use the pencil icon at the top of the page to open the editing mode. | |
| Select the course element you require by clicking on it from the list of available course elements in the menu on the right-hand side. | |
| In the dialog box, 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 sub-structure, you must first open it by clicking on the small triangle icon next to the structure's title. The area will open, and you will again see insert icons at the available positions. 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. | |
| 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. | |
In the course editor, you will find the following configuration tabs:

Therefore, an internal and an external URL is assigned to each course element. You can use these direct links to specific elements within courses or, share them with learners. These direct links to concrete elements can be used within courses or provided to learners. The URLs are located below the title and description of the element and will appear upon selecting Set link for this course element. - External link: To refer to this course element from outside of the course or learning platform, you can use the external link and insert it, for example as a href attribute, into the desired HTML page.

The [panel] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that its on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
