LTI support expands the collection of connectivity options for Maple T.A. Maplesoft also offers dedicated connectors for Blackboard and Moodle, and a web services API for custom development that allows Maple T.A. to be integrated into virtually any course management or learning management system. Integrating Maple T.A. with a course management system allows students and instructors to move freely between the two environments without having to log on more than once. It also provides a single location for students to access all their assignments, regardless of which system the assignment was created in, and a consolidated gradebook so all the students´ marks are available in one place.
“Many instructors want to take advantage of the advanced assessment facilities of Maple T.A. in their STEM courses, while continuing to use their institution´s course management systems,” says Jonny Zivku, Product Manager, Maple T.A., Maplesoft. “Now, with LTI connectivity, it is even easier for institutions to incorporate the powerful testing abilities of Maple T.A. directly into the environment they are using to manage other aspects of their courses.”
