Getting LTI 1.3 working
The parts that get skipped are the key exchange and the grade services – which is why so many LTI setups launch the tool correctly but never return a grade. Following a five-year-old blog post is the usual cause; LTI 1.3 is not LTI 1.1 with a new number.
We configure LTI properly as part of integration work, including deep linking and grade passback, and we test it end to end with a real learner account before it matters.
