Summary
Before submitting the LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) integration request form, please review the following information to ensure a smooth and timely evaluation process. This guide explains what details are needed and why, including accessibility, security, and budget-related requirements.
Submission Timeline
Requests must be submitted at least 4 weeks before the academic quarter in which the tool will be used.
Please note: Implementation may be delayed due to incomplete information, vendor response times, holidays, or high-volume periods (e.g., start of quarter).
Course and Department Information
We need basic information about where and how the LTI will be used:
- Course Name and Section ID: Identifies the specific course the tool will support.
- Department: Helps with tracking and aligning support with academic units.
Tool Details
Provide accurate and complete information about the tool:
- Name of LTI: The name of the tool you want to integrate.
- Description: A short summary of what the tool does and how it supports learning.
- Company/Provider Name: The organization that develops or supports the tool.
- Sales Representative Contact: Include their name and email to help us communicate quickly if needed.
- Website URL: A direct link to the product or vendor site.
Cost and Funding
Let us know if the tool is free or paid:
- If free, simply indicate that.
- If paid, specify:
- Total cost
- Who is covering the cost (e.g., your department, a grant, etc.)
Why this matters: Cost and funding details are needed for budgeting, contract review, and to ensure the right approvals are in place.
Preferred Implementation Quarter
Indicate the academic quarter in which you would like the tool to be implemented (e.g., fall, winter, spring, or summer).
This helps us schedule review and implementation based on planned course timelines.
Note: Please plan ahead. Late requests may not be implemented in time for your desired quarter.
Accessibility and Security Requirements
To meet compliance and protect student data, we require two key documents:
VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template)
The VPAT explains how well the tool meets accessibility standards like WCAG.
It ensures the tool is usable by all learners, including those with disabilities.
HECVAT (Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit)
The HECVAT is a standardized questionnaire that assesses the security practices of the vendor.
It ensures the tool meets cybersecurity and data protection requirements.
Additional Required Information
- Vendor VPAT/HECVAT Summary Sheet completed by vendor.
- Product Demo Date: If a demo has been scheduled, include the date and time.
- Additional Comments: Add any notes or special considerations.
Implementation Disclaimer
You will be asked to acknowledge the following on the form:
"I acknowledge that submitting this form does not guarantee the implementation of the LTI."
All tools must undergo review for accessibility, security, support compatibility, and cost impact before approval.
