'''Learning Tools Interoperability''' ('''LTI''') is an education technology standard developed by the IMS Global Learning Consortium, which specifies a method for a learning softwaresystem systemsto invoke and tools to inter-operatecommunicate with external systems. <ref name="IMS">{{cite web|url=http://www.imsglobal.org/toolsinteroperability2.cfm |title=Learning Tools Interoperability |publisher=IMS Global |date= |accessdate=2015-09-07}}</ref>. For example, a [[Learning Management System]] (LMS) may use LTI to enable course content and tools provided by external, third-party, systems to be hosted by the LMS, without requiring a learner to log in toseparately multipleon the external systems, while allowing information about the learner and the learning context to be shared by the LMS with the external systems.
