1EdTech Certified

Möbius supports LTI 1.3 integration with a compatible Learning Management System (LMS).

Check out the IMS Global website for official LTI Advantage certification details for Möbius.

Administrators can configure LTI integrations with Möbius, which can then be used to create Single Sign-On (SSO) links to Möbius from the LMS.

The process of configuring an integration between Möbius and an LMS is outlined below.

NOTE: Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)® establishes a connection between a learning application (Example — Möbius) that's provided through a third-party service and is often remotely hosted by a Learning Management System (LMS) (or Course Management System (CMS)). The learning application is referred to as the tool and the LMS (or CMS) is referred to as the platform.
