[Building Sakai] Scoring Agent API for review

[Matthew Jones]

Yea, that's essentially right, LTI generally puts more work on the provider
which they may or may not be willing to do.

Also at the moment I'd LTI, even at 2.0, doesn't have a an extension for
handling this type of use case very well. The current LTI simple outcomes
alone can't handle everything this is going to need to do and integrate as
well as we'd like. Some type of integration with these tools is what's
really expected.

So you would need to be able (in a site in the Sakai sense) have gradebook,
assignment and forums be able to be available to send their items to the
provider and make them gradable.  There likely could be extension(s)
created that could eventually implement this interface as part of LTI 2.0
in the future, but I agree this is the best solution for the moment.
