LTI 1.1
D2L is a strong champion of the 1Edtech LTI specification and is heavily involved at the strategic and working group levels. We know that there are many concerns and questions regarding the upcoming end of support of 1Edtech for legacy LTI versions.
After June 30, 2021, 1Edtech no longer certified legacy versions of LTI, and after June 2022 will no longer support legacy LTI implementations (1.1x -1.2 and 2.0). Considering this change, D2L will focus on support and improvement of LTI Advantage adherence.
This means that clients can continue to use legacy LTI and legacy LTI tools in Brightspace for now. We want to support the migration of our clients' existing legacy LTI links to LTI Advantage in a flexible way with empathy for the difficult change management that may be in store for them as they uplift or find alternatives to older tools that are now unsupported by 1Edtech.
End of Life
Any End of Life of the Legacy LTI tools will be announced through our typical EOL process and timelines. As it is over 6 months out, we have no date to communicate. D2L anticipates supporting our customers in their LTI migration journey for the foreseeable future.
At D2L, we understand this transition will be impactful for our clients and we want to emphasize that we are partners in this process with you. We have planned our migration to be iterative, flexible, and supportive of the wide range of legacy implementations that may exist. As our roadmap progresses, we will update this article.
