I announced as part of my talk at the Global Moodle Moot that HQ is working with TurnItIn to move the existing mod_lti into a core subsystem for Moodle LMS. TurnItIn will be doing the majority of this work as it is their aim to replace their existing 3 plugins with a single LTI integration. In addition to this move to core they will also be implementing additional LTI Placements, and implementing a new LTI assett processor extension to facilitate their requirements. Importantly it has been agreed that all work that will be undertaken will be in a standards compliant way and will be reusable by any other vendor or user of Moodle which is fantastic for the broader community. Importantly this lays the ground work for additional placements to be added such as an LTI placement in the editor, course navigation etc. which is not currently possible.
At this point the target timelines are Moodle 4.4 for the move to core and 4.5 for the implementation of the assett processor, this is obviously subject to change but this is the current intent. Over the period of the move from Mod_LTI to core HQ will not be accepting additional changes to Mod_LTI to avoid code merge conflicts and the community doing work that will need to be re-implemented later. If changes are to UI and other non- mod-lti related pieces we would consider them but please feel free to contact me and disucss if in doubt.
I'm really excited about this move forward for the platform and I'm really looking forward to seeing how we can leverage this new capability once it is in place.
