What is LTI, and which LMSs work with Edform?
LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) is the standard from 1EdTech that learning management systems use to connect tools like Edform. Edform supports LTI 1.3 with LTI Advantage: teachers add Edform activities to their course with Deep Linking, students and teachers open them with a secure single sign-on, Edform reads the course's student list (Names and Role Provisioning) and sends scores to the LMS gradebook (Assignment and Grade Services). It works with any LMS that supports LTI 1.3. Moodle, Canvas, D2L Brightspace and Sakai can register Edform themselves by pasting one registration URL (Dynamic Registration). Blackboard Learn adds Edform with its Client ID, and Open edX, itslearning, Blackbaud and other LTI 1.3 LMSs are set up on edform.com/lti/setup.
How to use Edform in your LMS
- 1
Your LMS admin registers Edform
In the LMS's external tool (LTI 1.3) settings, the admin pastes Edform's registration URL. Edform registers itself; nothing to copy back.
- 2
Add an Edform activity to your course
Where you add external tools to a course, choose Edform, sign in to your Edform account once, and pick a quiz, worksheet, lesson or video lesson.
- 3
Students open it from the course
Students click the activity in the course and land in Edform, signed in. When they hand in, their score goes to the gradebook.

Pick an activity without leaving the course
When you add Edform to a course, your Edform library opens inside the LMS. Search, pick an activity and press Add: Edform creates homework for that course and the LMS places the link, with a gradebook column out of 100.
- Your quizzes, worksheets, lessons and video lessons
- Homework only for this course
- A gradebook column out of 100
Students in, without codes or passwords
The LMS signs students in to Edform. The first time, Edform creates their account and puts them in the course's class; after that they go straight to the activity. Edform also reads the course's student list, so the whole class is there before anyone opens a link.
- Single sign-on from the LMS
- Class filled from the course
- No join codes
Scores in your gradebook
Each student's best score goes to the LMS gradebook as soon as they hand in, and again when you grade open answers. Answers still waiting for your grading are marked as pending, and the full report with every answer stays in Edform.
- Best score, out of 100
- Updated after your grading
- Full report in Edform
