Impact: Administrators, other support users
Administrators and other support users access courses without being enrolled. Sometimes they need to access 3rd-party content integrated using LTI, the Learning Tools Interoperability standard. In the past, admins could launch LTI links in the Course Outline of Ultra courses. Admins couldn’t access LTI links in other areas of the course. Now, administrators can access and launch LTI tools in the following additional areas:
- The Books and Tools panel
- The Content Market
This change will make it easier for admins to support courses when they are not an enrolled course member.
For administrators: This feature is available for all Ultra courses. There are no configurations needed. For these LTI link launches, Learn will send the role of “administrator” for both the LTI context and institution roles. A tool must be compliant with this aspect of the standard for the launch to work.
