Questions
Key Points:
- Pearson's LTI Usage:
- Uses LTI for embedding third-party content into courses.
- Pays for LTI access, potentially per launch.
- Doesn't currently track actual LTI usage against invoices.
- LTI configurations are managed centrally and not shared between courses (except potentially in the future).
- Course Reruns:
- Pearson uses "reruns" to create new course instances based on existing ones.
- There was initial confusion about how resource link IDs behave during reruns, requiring further investigation.
- Ideally, these IDs should follow the LTI spec and be unique across the platform.
- LTI Prototype Feedback:
- Pearson found the ability to reuse LTI configurations valuable.
- The prototype's organization of LTI components (organization, course, and user levels) was relevant to Pearson's needs.
- There were some questions about how the prototype handles sharing LTI components between instructors.
Next Steps:
- Investigate how resource link IDs behave during course reruns.
- Clarify the separation between tool registration and component configuration in the prototype.
- Refine the LTI prototype based on feedback and present it to the LTI working group.
