Worth an article[edit]

I don't have time to do a proper edit to fix the problems with this article, but I work in the field of educational technology, and LTI is definitely a noteworthy enough standard to deserve a good Wikipedia page. Plenty of secondary sources in a Google Scholar search https://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?hl=en&q=learning+tools+interoperability.--Tim J Hunt (talk) 12:42, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like an advertisement[edit]

I added the POV tag as the second sentence of the opening paragraph 'By linking content and resources to learning platforms, it has made the digital education revolution possible and accessible by many students on many platforms at many institutions.' is an unsubstantiated claim about the value of the technology. It reads like an advertisement, but I didn't want to remove it completely, as I don't know if that's OK. Ortonomy (talk) 09:33, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Right, it's grotesque. The learning platform I am using right now is a laptop running an old version of Crunchbang Linux. I link content and resources (e.g. Wikipedia) to my learning platform via a web connection and a browser. Presumably the writer(s) of the article meant something quite different -- but what they meant, I don't know. The reason being that, its promotional tone aside, this article is impossibly abstract.

We do read that LTI has made the digital education revolution possible; and I'd hesitate before saying this of a web connection and a browser. An unusual claim is being made here. But what is the "digital education revolution"? Is it the "Digital Education Revolution"? If so, then it (i) was/is limited to Australia, and (ii) sounds as if it was/is rather a cock-up; if not, then what was it? -- Hoary (talk) 09:05, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that "learning platform" in this context refers to LMS (Learning Management System, like Moodle, Blackboard etc) and administrative systems around this, and in that context LTI is if not a revolution then at least an important enabler of integrating systems from different vendors.
