Key {Features}

LMS Platform Support

Easily deliver courses from Canvas, Blackboard, and many other LMS platforms with simple configuration. Our LTI integration with LMS platforms handles Codio account creation, single sign on, and the passing back of Codio grades to the LMS gradebook.

Grade Passback

Our LTI integration with LMS platforms handles Codio account creation, single sign-on, and the passing back of Codio grades to the LMS gradebook to simplify admin work. Easily deliver courses from various LMS platforms.

Dashboard

The instructor dashboard provides an instant snapshot of course progress in Codio’s LMS-integrated platform. All auto-graded assessments are shown, and you can also manually grade. There are various levels to drill through, right down to seeing student results for individual assessments.

Easily Distribute Assignments

Configure a Codio environment with all the tools you need - programming language, database, packages, etc., and use this environment for all your assignments. You can also set up different environments for different assignments. Codio can be configured for all your needs. Each student will receive their own copy of the assignment to work on. Whenever you need to access their Codio environment to review their work, it's one click away.

Learner Account Provisioning

Adding students and learners can be done in one of two ways. If using an LMS platform that integrates with LTI, students will be automatically added to the course. Otherwise, each course has its own unique invitation URL, which can be posted anywhere. When students click on it, an account is created if they are a new user, and then they are added to the course.

Course Management

Effortlessly add students using either the LMS or invitation URLs, so no need to perform messy CSV file uploads.

The VM technology, integrated IDE and class monitoring tools are a killer combination. The time savings for students and faculty are huge.

What is LTI integration?

LTI integration acts as a connector between educational tools like Codio and Learning Management Systems (LMS). Created by IMS Global, LTI is a framework that enhances the functionality of an LMS-integrated platform. The main advantage of LTI integration is that it provides a seamless experience for learners as they move between different tools.

For example, if you’re using Canvas LMS, LTI integration allows Codio’s coding assignments to be accessed directly within the LMS. Students don’t need to log in separately, and the system supports single sign-on, passing relevant information between Codio and the LMS.

This integration with LMS platforms creates a more cohesive and efficient learning experience for both students and instructors.

What is the difference between LTI and LMS?

LTI and LMS are two different components in the world of online learning. An LMS is a comprehensive platform where courses are created, delivered, and accessed. It tracks student progress, manages records, and facilitates communication between instructors and students.

However, LMS platforms can be limited in the types of content they can deliver. This is where LTI comes in—it allows external tools, like coding environments or interactive lessons, to be integrated into the LMS. With LTI, students and teachers can use these external resources without needing separate logins or leaving the LMS. This integration expands the capabilities of platforms like Moodle, Blackboard, and Canvas, enhancing the learning experience.
