INTEGRATION

* VoiceThread integrates with a broad range of information systems. For alternatives to LTI and custom integration options, please follow this.

Seamlessly integrating VoiceThread into your Learning Management System (LMS) is the key to user happiness. VoiceThread works well within a broad range of systems, but the most powerful option is the standard developed by the IMS Global Learning Consortium called Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI). LTI allows VoiceThread to integrate into most major Learning Management Systems, including but not limited to Blackboard, Sakai, Canvas, Desire2Learn, BrainHoney and Moodle.

Single Sign-On
All users access VoiceThread with a single click. Through LTI, VoiceThread will know the context of the user from the LMS, and an account will be created for that person. First name, last name, email address, and role information can all be passed to VoiceThread through LTI.

Course Enrollment
Students and instructors are enrolled in their courses automatically. When a user clicks an LTI link within a course, VoiceThread will generate a group for that course and add the user to it.

Gradebook Integration
Set graded assignments in VoiceThread. Require students to create their own VoiceThreads, comment on one of yours, or simply watch a lecture and receive a grade. Assignments are graded in VoiceThread, and grades are sent back to your LMS gradebook seamlessly.

Instantaneous Integration
Setup for IT teams is quick and simple. The only technical requirement for using LTI integration is an LMS that supports LTI tools. Never have to worry about a change in LMS. As long as an LMS supports LTI, VoiceThread will migrate gracefully.
