Panopto (LTI Tool Provider Setup)
OpenLearning supports multiple technologies to provide interoperability with other systems, tools, and apps. In this article, we will be covering the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) integration with Panopto, a lecture capture and video management system used by Institutions to capture, record and share videos with their learners. The topics covered are:

Step 4
