How does Edform work with Blackbaud's K-12 LMS?
Edform connects to Blackbaud's K-12 LMS with LTI 1.3, the 1EdTech standard Blackbaud uses for external tools. A Blackbaud platform manager adds Edform once as an LTI 1.3 learning tool. After that, you add Edform activities to your courses where your school's learning tools appear when you add assignments or content: a picker with your Edform library opens inside Blackbaud, you pick an activity, and Blackbaud places it in the course. Students click it and land in Edform, signed in. Edform grades their answers and sends each student's best score back to Blackbaud.
