4 // BasicLTI4Moodle is an IMS BasicLTI (Basic Learning Tools for Interoperability)
5 // consumer for Moodle 1.9 and Moodle 2.0. BasicLTI is a IMS Standard that allows web
6 // based learning tools to be easily integrated in LMS as native ones. The IMS BasicLTI
7 // specification is part of the IMS standard Common Cartridge 1.1 Sakai and other main LMS
8 // are already supporting or going to support BasicLTI. This project Implements the consumer
9 // for Moodle. Moodle is a Free Open source Learning Management System by Martin Dougiamas.
10 // BasicLTI4Moodle is a project iniciated and leaded by Ludo(Marc Alier) and Jordi Piguillem
11 // at the GESSI research group at UPC.
12 // SimpleLTI consumer for Moodle is an implementation of the early specification of LTI
13 // by Charles Severance (Dr Chuck) htp://dr-chuck.com , developed by Jordi Piguillem in a
14 // Google Summer of Code 2008 project co-mentored by Charles Severance and Marc Alier.
