LTI installation request
What is an LTI?
LTI stands for Learning Tools Interoperability, an integration standard for third-party tools. Brightspace supports LTI, which allows third-party tools to be easily integrated and used within Brightspace.
The following tools are already available in Brightspace:
- Ares/Course Reserves
- Zoom (web conferencing)
- Yuja (course recording)
- Ouriginal (similarity detection tool)
- Simple Syllabus (creating syllabi based on templates and frequently used content.)
- Wooclap (encourage student participation in all types of courses)
- Respondus (help you to secure online exams done in Brightspace)
Note: No LTI request to integrate similar tools in the list below will be accepted.
Please note that the LTI extension you request must comply with the University of Ottawa's rules and policies regarding bilingualism, accessibility, privacy, and computer security to be approved. If there is a cost associated with the extension, you will require a recurring budget, and we will need to request assistance from Procurement for contract negotiation. The process can, therefore, take several weeks/months.
It is important to remember this, as adding an extension is typically only done at the beginning of a semester.
