One-Click LTI 1.3: Annoto Inside Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard & Brightspace

Every learning team we meet has the same quiet fear about adding a new tool: the migration. Re-uploading video libraries, retraining faculty, breaking single sign-on, reconciling grades by hand. We built our LTI 1.3 integration precisely so none of that has to happen. You keep your LMS, you keep your videos, and we add the engagement layer on top in a single click.

What One-Click LTI 1.3 Actually Means

LTI 1.3 is the modern IMS Global standard that lets your LMS and an external tool trust each other securely. Because we speak it natively, an administrator registers us once and every course can turn us on without touching code or filing a ticket. We work the same way across the platforms institutions already run:

• Canvas — add us as an external tool or module item and we appear in place.
• Moodle — deploy site-wide, then instructors drop us into any activity.
• Blackboard and Brightspace — register once, enable per course, done.

There is no separate password for students to remember. LTI passes identity and roles automatically, so learners land inside the video already signed in and instructors see their roster without importing anything.

Your Existing Video, Now Interactive

We do not ask you to move your media. Annoto is an overlay, which means it wraps the video you already publish and adds in-video quizzes, in-context comments, peer review, and reflection points right on the timeline. That works whether your content lives in Kaltura, Panopto, YouTube, or is embedded directly in an LMS page. The lecture you recorded last term becomes an active learning experience without a re-upload or a re-edit.

When you want to move faster, Lumo, our AI copilot, auto-generates in-video quizzes and scaffolds questions across Bloom's taxonomy, so a passive recording becomes a graded checkpoint in minutes rather than an afternoon.

Grades and Interaction That Flow Back Home

Because assessment only matters if it reaches the record of learning, we use LTI's Assignment and Grade Services to sync scores straight into the native LMS gradebook. Quiz results and participation land where instructors already look, with no CSV exports and no double entry.

Every prompt answered, comment posted, and quiz taken is captured as evidence of Regular & Substantive Interaction — the documentation online and distance programs increasingly need to demonstrate.

Alongside grades, we surface analytics on attention, comprehension, and completion, so faculty can see which moments in a video landed and which lost the room. More than 200 institutions, including NYU, Florida State, Georgia Tech, and the University of Padova, trust this approach.

The result is the rare integration that adds capability without adding friction: same LMS, same videos, richer learning, and a gradebook that stays the single source of truth. If you are ready to try it, talk with our team about turning on your first course.
