WE MAKE IT EASY

Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) serves as a bridge that allows educational software platforms to connect and work together seamlessly with your institution's Learning Management System (LMS). Essentially, LTI enables your LMS to integrate with our external educational tool without requiring separate logins or complicated setups, creating a single-sign-on (SSO).

This straightforward integration puts the application of NASM content in your hands. With LTI, educators are now in control, they can direct students to specific chapters, or provide access to full course content.
