Options for using LTI for Kora Public Beta

Within the same Digication system, you can have courses in classic or Kora. Classic courses will use our LTI 1.1 integration. Any Kora Courses will use the new LTI for Kora integration. 

If you are already using our LTI 1.1 integration in your LMS, you can add the LTI for Kora as a second integration, and connect to Kora courses in your system. 

To test out LTI for Kora, schedule a meeting with the Digication Integrations team for more information on how to configure LTI for Kora.

Kind regards,

Your friends at Digication
