LTI for integration of curricuLAB® content into third-party LMS

Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is a package of standards  developed by the IMS Global Learning Consortium that enables integration of external learning tools into and communication with learning platforms. Content from curricuLAB® can now be integrated as external tool into a learning platform that supports the LTI Advantage standard. Each Organisation in curricuLAB® can be register to one third-party learning platform via its registration link provided under https://www.curriculab.de/shares > LTI. Content that was selected in curricuLAB® for sharing via LTI will be available to be integrated e.g. in courses of the third-party learning platform. curricuLAB® is up to date regarding LTI and supports the LTI 1.3 Advantage standard.

Without being limited to Moodle, exemplary we describe the registration process for the widely used learning platform Moodle.
