Explorance Announces Support for the New LTI® Advantage Standard

MONTREAL, May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Explorance, the leading Learning Journey Analytics (LJA) solution provider, announces its commitment to support the latest LTI Advantage standard to provide improved user experience and data security for educators and students using plug-and-play integration across learning platforms. Explorance clients will benefit from deeper ecosystem integration for better teaching and learning experiences.

LTI version 1.3 and LTI Advantage are the latest open industry standards by IMS Global providing secure connections between learning platforms and the digital EdTech ecosystem. LTI Advantage, built on LTI v1.3, enhances the integration level in the following areas: 1) provisioning of usernames and roles so a tool can correctly address the learner on launch, 2) the exchange of assignments and grades from a platform to an EdTech tool, 3) deep linking to allow intuitive interfacing between a learning platform and content or data from a learning tool.

Explorance is an early adopter of the LTI standard. Over the last four years, Explorance has taken an active role as a contributing member at IMS Global in defining, enhancing, and adopting the industry interoperability standards for the education ecosystem. Yeona Jang, Executive Vice President of Explorance, serves on the Caliper Analytics Product Steering Committee and as a board member of IMS Global Europe.

"Clients are now able to reap the fruits of our accumulated efforts to advance smooth and secured integration in the EdTech ecosystem," says Samer Saab, CEO of Explorance. "We will continue to invest in open interfaces and in the useful exchange of data for the benefit of the education end-users."

As early as July 2019, clients who use live formative feedback will start taking advantage of the LTI standards to enable efficient automation of grades and assignments, confirm critical credentials in real-time and efficient data transfer in learning and teaching workflow between Explorance solutions and other learning platforms. Specific release dates and details about LTI Advantage support will soon be distributed to existing and potential clients.
