LTI
Nice PickDevelopers should learn LTI when building educational technology (EdTech) applications that need to integrate with platforms like Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or D2L
Pros
- +It's essential for creating interoperable learning tools that can be easily deployed across multiple institutions without custom integration work for each LMS, ensuring compliance with educational standards and enhancing user experience through seamless access
- +Related to: learning-management-systems, oauth-2.0
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
XAPI
Developers should learn XAPI when building or integrating e-learning, training, or educational technology systems that require tracking learner activities beyond traditional SCORM-based courses
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for scenarios involving mobile learning, simulations, serious games, or blended learning environments where data needs to be aggregated from multiple sources
- +Related to: scorm, learning-management-system
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use LTI if: You want it's essential for creating interoperable learning tools that can be easily deployed across multiple institutions without custom integration work for each lms, ensuring compliance with educational standards and enhancing user experience through seamless access and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use XAPI if: You prioritize it is particularly useful for scenarios involving mobile learning, simulations, serious games, or blended learning environments where data needs to be aggregated from multiple sources over what LTI offers.
