Pearson 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.
