W.W. Norton Partner Integration

LTI 1.3 Partner Integration Featureset:

• Single Sign-on (SSO) provides a frictionless delivery & access experience for students via VitalSource Launch.
• Deeplink proxying enables direct access to specific assignments and locations within your platform via the VitalSource LTI tool.
• Assignments & Grades Proxy Service replaces the Basic Outcomes service from previous LTI versions and removes the strict one-to-one relationship between a resource link and a line item.
• A full glossary of common terms can be found on our Partner Integration (PI) Glossary page.

    • More guidance on this process can be found on the Implement the Deeplinking Tool in the LMS for Courseware Integrations page. You may need to discuss this tool’s location within your LMS with your administrator.
