explanation for non-techies**
Imagine your Learning Management System (LMS) as a bustling university campus. Each building on this campus represents a different tool or feature that educators and students use daily. Now, picture Microsoft 365 LTI as a new, state-of-the-art student center that connects all these buildings with covered walkways, making it easier for everyone to move between them without stepping outside.
Starting September 15, 2025, this new student center, Microsoft 365 LTI, will open its doors to campuses worldwide. It will seamlessly integrate with popular LMS platforms like Canvas, Moodle, and others, allowing users to access Microsoft 365 tools such as OneDrive, Teams, and OneNote directly from their LMS. This is like having a one-stop shop where students and teachers can access all their educational resources without having to leave the main campus.
Previously, if you wanted to use different Microsoft tools, you might have had to walk to separate buildings, like the old Teams Meetings or Teams Classes. Now, with Microsoft 365 LTI, everything is housed under one roof, simplifying the process and reducing the clutter of managing multiple tools separately. This new integration also brings back some favorite features, like the automatic setup of OneNote Class Notebooks based on class rosters, which is akin to having a personal assistant who organizes your notes for you.
For the administrators, think of this as upgrading the campus infrastructure. You'll need to deploy this new integration, similar to setting up the new student center and ensuring all pathways are connected. It's essential to communicate these changes to your helpdesk and instructional staff, much like informing everyone about the new campus layout and facilities. Updating your internal documentation will be necessary to guide users through the new system, just as you would update campus maps and directories.
In summary, Microsoft 365 LTI is set to enhance the LMS experience by providing a unified and streamlined access point for all Microsoft 365 tools, making it easier for educators and students to focus on what truly matters—learning and teaching.
