WISEflow to Support LTI v1.3 Standard from July 2024

Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)® is a standard developed by the IMS Global Learning Consortium and specifies a way to integrate learning applications, often provided by third-party vendors, with platforms like Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Moodle, Canvas, or Blackboard. WISEflow now supports LTI v1.3, whereby compatible platforms can utilise WISEflow as a tool on courses and tests. Setting up an LTI integration enables seamless connection between WISEflow and virtual learning environments.

Digital platforms have become integral to the ecosystem of educational institutions, enhancing the learning experience, streamlining administrative tasks, and fostering better communication among all stakeholders. Providing support for LTI, educational institutions will have the ability to connect WISEflow as their main exam platform with other learning management systems and thus placing WISEflow directly in the ecosystem of existing virtual learning experiences.  

WISEflow is the optimal system for carrying out summative exams and has a large range of different flow types catering for the different variants of exams needed by institutions in higher education. Introducing students to WISEflow and embedding WISEflow into their day-to-day course work nowadays is either a fairly labour-intensive manual task or depends on custom built integrations. Furthermore, setting up and managing flows in WISEflow can be a complex task, which often leads to teachers not utilising WISEflow as a component in their course design. By adding support for LTI in WISEflow the users gain multiple benefits that can only be achieved by connecting the two solutions.

As a first step, it will be possible to set up an integration between WISEflow and Canvas which will allow assessors and/or managers to easily link flows to courses in the LMS and for users (assessors, managers and participants) to navigate directly to the specific flow in WISEflow from the LMS. This will create a secure and standardised communication between the virtual learning platform (LMS) and exam platform (WISEflow), thus improving the user experience and developing faster, easier and safer solutions. 

In the coming months, the LTI integration will be built out further to support connections to platforms such as Moodle, Brightspace and Blackboard. Additionally, development will focus on reducing administrative work, like passing back grades from WISEflow via the LTI or reducing the amount of work associated with setting up and managing flows.
