'''Learning Tools Interoperability''' ('''LTI''') is an education technology standard developed by the IMS Global Learning Consortium. It specifies a method for a learning system to invoke and to communicate 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> In the current version of the standard, v1.3, this is done using [[OAuth2]], [[OpenID Connect]], and [[JSON Web Token]]s. For example, a [[Learning Management System]] (LMS) may use LTI to host course content and tools provided by external, third-party systems on a [[World Wide Web|web]] site, without requiring a learner to log in separately on the external systems, while still allowingwith information about the learner and the learning context to be transmittedshared by the LMS towith the external systems.
