Description

Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is a standard created by the IMS Global Learning Consortium. An LTI shares content, resources, and/or other information from a third-party website with a learning management system (LMS). Its primary purpose is to connect learning systems with external services. Canvas calls these integrated platforms “external apps”.
 

External apps must pass the following reviews before they will be added to Canvas using LTI integration.

  • Vendor Risk Review
  • Accessibility Review
  • Customer Support Review
  • ISU Systems Impact Review

New LTI integrations must comply with the LTI version 1.3 standard. Integrations requiring unrestricted access tokens or using previous, deprecated versions of the LTI standard are not allowed. Please see the Security Update and Deprecation Schedule for Early Versions of LTI.

Existing LTI integrations that use deprecated versions of the LTI standard may temporarily remain in use while ISU works with the vendor to upgrade to LTI 1.3.

Site supported apps are paid for and supported by ISU, while department/course level apps are paid for and supported by individual departments at ISU.

Course-level LTI integrations in Canvas by faculty are not permitted.

Each department/course-level integration request will be reviewed based on risk, accessibility, support, and impact on ISU systems. If an integration does not meet ISU expectations in any one of these areas, the request will be rejected.
The review of each integration takes at least 4 weeks from the time the request is submitted. ITRC may seek clarification from the vendor during the review process. The timeliness of vendor responses to information requests significantly influences the review timeline. Submitting the request during the first week of the semester, mid-term, or finals week may also impact the turnaround time.
Requestors will need to obtain a HECVAT or SOC2  from the vendor:
(If the vendor does not have either of these, the request will be rejected.)
  • The Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit (HECVAT) is a questionnaire framework specifically designed for higher education to measure vendor risk. The questionnaire confirms that information, data, and cybersecurity policies are in place to protect our sensitive institutional information and constituents' personally identifiable information (PII). 
  • The System of Organization Controls Trust Services Criteria (SOC2) audit generates a comprehensive report on vendor controls on security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy, offering assurance regarding data processing controls. 
  • [Optional] A Privacy Policy or Statement is a public information page that relays any rights users have on the platform to control their personal information.
  • [Optional] A Security Policy or Statement is a public information page that relays the vendor’s ability to protect sensitive data and other information during interactions on their platform.
Based on the information provided by the vendor, ISU may approve, seek clarification, or reject the integration of the external app. Approved apps will be reviewed periodically. Notably, the timeliness of vendor responses to information requests significantly influences the approval timeline for integrations.
