Introduction:
Faculty and staff frequently rely on third-party integrations outside of D2L to support teaching and learning in their courses and organizations. These tools are usually integrated using the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard. LTI is a standard protocol for delivering data between the LMS and the external tool. This data might include credentials, grades, names, and other educational data protected by federal law. As a higher education institution, UTRGV must comply with corresponding federal laws and regulations and be responsible for any third parties that create or manage education records. The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) establishes requirements for protecting students’ education records, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) establishes requirements for the accessibility of UTRGV resources.
