LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) is a standard that enables seamless integration between learning platforms and external tools or content providers. It allows secure data exchange, such as user information and course content, between different systems. LTI 1.3 enhances previous versions by providing improved security features for secure communication. This integration makes it easier to seamlessly incorporate interactive components from your favorite tools into your courses in Learnifier, enriching how learners engage with the content.

Click "Create connection", and you're all set!
Once the connection is complete, you can integrate and manage interactive components from Genially within Learnifier, both in the library and directly in courses. For specific instructions, refer to the provider's help documentation.
