The DesignPLUS suite has two LTI tools: the Multi-Tool and the Upload / Embed Image (UEI). Cidi Labs has completed upgrading these tools from LTI 1.1 to the newer LTI 1.3 (LTI Advantage) specification.
When will the LTI 1.3 version of MultiTool and UEI be available?
LTI 1.3 version is now available as of June 2023
Can we have both LTI 1.1 and LTI 1.3 installed at the same time? How does that work?
Yes. We will create a new LTI Developer Key for each tool. You can then use that LTI developer key to install the tool in any sub-account or course for testing.
Installing the LTI 1.3 version of the tool will not affect the LTI 1.1 version's ability to function. And as you create the LTI 1.3 version you can name it as appropriate to keep the two tools separate.
Are there installation instructions for an institution to install the tools themselves?
Yes, you can view the instructions here.
Is the functionality of the LTI 1.3 version any different from the LTI 1.1 version?
No, the functionality of both versions is exactly the same. The only difference is how the tool gets authenticated, so documentation for students/faculty will not need to change.
