in reply to RFC: IMS Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI)

I've just found out about LTI, a cut-down web service standard that simplifies connecting VLE/LMS to external tools. The Basic LTI is SSO.

Too many TLAs.

TLA = Three Letter Acronym

    I could blame the rushed wording on lack of sleep and a wireless access point that kept booting me off, but part of me figured that if you didn't recognize the TLAs, you wouldn't be interested and it's a small area of interest.

    For the curious:

    1. Virtual Learning Environment (UK usage)
    2. Learning Management System (US usage)
    3. Single Sign On

    Basically, it was a call out to those developing Perl for educational applications.

      While it might be true for this particular area, it's not true in general. I've used single sign-on systems, both as a user and as a consumer of such an API. Still I only recognized "SSO" on the second or third pass of reading.
