LTI 1.3 (Deep Linking): Ability to bulk create and link LMS assignments to SL&L activities

With this release, we have added Deep Linking to SL&L’s existing LTI 1.3 capability.

Deep Linking builds on SL&L’s existing capabilities as an LTI Advantage Tool Provider, enabling administrators and course instructors to bulk create and link LMS assignments with SL&L activities in one seamless workflow.

This ability significantly reduces the time and effort spent by course admins and course instructors in setting up and linking LMS assignments to SL&L activities.

The table shared below provides a comparison of the existing activity linking workflow to the new Deep Linking workflow.

Existing Activity Linking Workflow Deep Linking Workflow
  • Create activities in SL&L (in the relevant course sections).
  • Create assignments in the LMS (in the relevant corses).
  • Ensure you have access to the required course sections in SL&L as a course section instructor in addition to having access to the relevant LMS courses.
  • Manually link each LMS assignment to the relevant SL&L activity, one at a time.
  • Create activities in SL&L (in the relevant course sections).
  • Access the Deep Linking workflow from the LMS course.
