Moving to Turnitin's LTI 1.3 in Agilix Buzz
Going forward, Turnitin plans to introduce new product enhancements and add-ons for LTI 1.3, which is becoming the primary industry standard adopted by learning management systems.
As Turnitin’s LTI 1.1 integration with Agilix Buzz is going to be retired on December 31, 2027, we recommend planning to upgrade to LTI 1.3 before the official end of support date – December 31, 2026.
What are your next steps?
We recommend starting by watching the ‘Road to LTI 1.3’ webinar recording. This will help you better understand the exciting capabilities LTI 1.3 offers with Turnitin’s Feedback Studio, and how the LTI 1.3 integration standard is superior to LTI 1.1.
