LTI Advantage Services ​
Deep Linking 2.0 ​
Flat for Education supports LTI Deep Linking 2.0, allowing teachers to link assignments and sheet music from Flat's resource library directly within their LMS. When a teacher selects a graded assignment, the maximum score is included in the deep link so the LMS can automatically configure its gradebook.
Assignment & Grade Services 2.0 ​
Flat for Education supports LTI Assignment & Grade Services 2.0 for automatic grade synchronization with the LMS gradebook.
Grades are synced at every stage of the submission lifecycle:
| Flat for Education Submission State | LTI AGS Activity Progress | LTI AGS Grading Progress |
|---|---|---|
| Created | Started | NotReady |
| Turned in | Submitted | PendingManual |
| Returned | Completed | FullyGraded |
| Graded | Completed | FullyGraded |
In addition to grades, Flat for Education sends submission timestamps and, when applicable, the identity of the teacher who graded the submission.
Names and Role Provisioning Services 2.0 ​
Flat for Education supports LTI Names and Role Provisioning Services 2.0 for automatic class roster synchronization. When enabled, class rosters are imported from the LMS and kept in sync automatically, including support for incremental updates when available from the LMS.
Submission Review Service ​
Flat for Education supports the LTI Submission Review Service 1.0, enabling teachers to access detailed student submission reviews directly from their LMS gradebook.
Migration from LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3 ​
Flat for Education supports the LTI 1.1 migration claim, allowing a seamless transition from LTI 1.1 to LTI 1.3. User accounts are automatically matched when upgrading, ensuring that existing class memberships, assignments, and grades are preserved.
The LTI launch and deep link URLs are the same between LTI 1.1 and LTI 1.3, so existing links created with LTI 1.1 will continue to work after upgrading.
REST API ​
LTI credentials can also be managed programmatically through our REST API. See the Flat for Education API documentation for more information.
