<p class="MsoNormal">Hey Wordpress Folks!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was asked today to see if we can integrate our Multi-Site instance with the campus Sakai instance and pointed to the LTI Framework that exists in Sakai. Does anyone out there have experience with this that I could talk to?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I found this plugin that looks like it is in it's infancy - http://code.google.com/p/basiclti4wordpress/<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I threw it up on our Dev server, but I really don't know what to do with it. Or what it does. The Sakai interface asks for some special keys.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is some links to the LTI information as it might be of use to some others. It provides a great interface between learning management systems and outside tools.
