Deep Link Feature
LTI 1.3 Deep Linking allows teachers to easily integrate educational materials from The KWL Hub into their LMS courses (learning management system). This means that they can select and add the content they need directly without having to leave the LMS, making everything accessible in one place and easier to use for both teachers and their students.
Note: This feature is compatible with LMS platforms that support LTI 1.3, such as Canvas, Moodle, Schoology, and D2L.
