Content Selection

The LTI 1.3 tool allows any educator to browse and embed media objects alongside other content within assignments, or to select content which comprises entire modules, lessons, or units. All users can search content added to GoOpen CT Collections. Additionally, users can also browse or search content from Group Shared Folders and personal My Items libraries, if that content has been configured and made available. 


Authentication and Account Provisioning

The tool will automatically create new GoOpen CT accounts for instructors if they don’t already have one, and grant instructors access to all of their college’s private GoOpen CT collections and all shared GoOpen CT collections. Account information from GoOpen CT is not collected or stored for student users. Instead, students have view-only access to GoOpen CT content that their instructors have embedded in Moodle and Opencourses.


LTI 1.3 Tool Preview Images

Here are preview images of the content provided by the LTI tool. When an instructor adds a new activity using the GoOpen CT LTI tool, the instructor will be able to search and browse items in their college’s Collections, their own personal saved Items, and their GoOpen CT Group folders.
