This section provides details of the available Building Blocks written for Blackboard Learn 9+.
BasicLTI
This Building Block provides a mechanism for connecting Learn 9 with external tools which support Basic LTI, a subset of the full IMS Learning Tools Interoperability 2 specification. This allows Learn 9 to act as a tool consumer of Basic LTI-compliant tools. Whilst the full specification has still to be released, Basic LTI provides an important step towards enabling tool producers to support access from multiple platforms, including different flavours of virtual learning environments (or learning management systems). From a tool consumer perspective it also opens up new opportunities for collaborative work between users of different platforms (or just different installations of the same platform).
The following utility is also available to support the implementation of Building Blocks:
B2Context
B2Context provides basic support functions for Building Blocks including easy access to language bundle values, configuration settings, navigation items and receipt messages.
