LTI is the way the SI Lab Portal connects to your institution's LMS, allowing for automatic data transfers and account set up. LTI creates a seamless experience for you and your students to use your Science Interactive lab course alongside your LMS course.

Science Interactive Lab Portal currently uses LTI 1.3. LTI 1.1 integration is not available.

Integration of the SI Lab Portal with your LMS comes with a number of benefits. This includes:

• Single-Sign On: When you use LTI, students don't have to manually enroll in the SI Lab Portal course. Instead, they are automatically enrolled when they access the Lab Portal course from your LMS.
• Automatic grade transfer: When you use LTI, all student grades in the SI Lab Portal transfer automatically to the gradebook in your LMS, so you don't have to manually transfer grades or require students to submit PDFs of their lessons.
• Streamlined set up every semester: After establishing your LTI integration, making copies of your course is fast and easy.
  • For every semester or section after the first one, you can create new SI Lab Portal sections right from your LMS and all the lessons will be integrated automatically. 
  • This means you don't have to worry about updating enrollment links every semester or focus on anything but what you do best: teaching lab science.

We know LTI might sound complicated at first, but trust us: it's really a simple process! We have written easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions specific to all the major LMSs to walk you through the set up process.
