[Building Sakai] Integrating a Third-Party System using API / LTI

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Chris

What data do you need? There are java api's, as well as soap and rest web services. Will this be all remote or will there be a part on Sakai that does the data collection?

Cheers
Steve

The system was built by a Canvas user, so we’ve successfully integrated our system with Canvas and are now looking to do so with other learning management systems.  We make nightly API calls to Canvas, pull a number of data elements, run the data through an algorithm, then create a dashboard.  Using LTI integration, we make the dashboard available within the LMS; there are links within the dashboard that can take users into the appropriate pages of the LMS.  We have paying customers today and are now getting requests from schools that use another LMS besides Canvas.
