The Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) Resource Search specification defines how to search digital repositories for a set of resources via a web services API. The standard addresses searching learning object repositories (LORs), and other catalogs of learning resources. The specification supports executing these search from learning tools using various attributes of resources and returning full metadata about the resources to the learning tools. Results can be launched either as URLs or LTI links. The goal of the LTI Resource Search standard is a standard way for students and teachers to be able to search resource providers, such as learning object repositories, from single sources or aggregated from multiple sources, within a learning object consumer such as a learning management system or other educational platform.
The presenters will give an overview of the specification, demonstrate the process of conformance and certification and show how the specification is used in deployed products. Attendees at the workshop will:
- Learn how to build and execute LTI Resource Search specification queries within their learning tools
- Learn how to use the LTI Resource Search conformance test systems to become certified
- Learn how your development team can make best use of the LTI Resource Search specification and released artifacts
- See demonstrations of the use of the LTI Resource Search by certified products
