LMS Integration (e.g. Canvas LMS)
We are very interested in LMS Integration right into the Canvas LMS used at our University.
Some companies such as TestOut, Skillsoft Practice Labs and more integrate directly into the schools LMS - we use "Canvas" by Instructure and have employed deep links and LTI integrations to simplify the students and faculty access. The company TestOut also uses Canvas and I could not help but notice that Cisco uses Canvas as well. (Wondering if that would make the effort easy)
• The benefit of the LTI integration is grades automatically come over to the LMS so grading is a snap - very important when you have hundreds of students taking the course each session.
• In addition, with SSO (single-sign on) and deep links, students can login to our LMS and then we would automatically push their credentials over to Cisco and log them in automatically - all in one click.
• Finally, if Cisco could provide deep links, we could can "gate" the Cisco resources we want the students to access and only allow them to see what is next on a week-by-week basis - instead of letting them see everything and skipping ahead.
Check out TestOut's LMS Integration page - they have both an app and LTI integration options. http://www.testout.com/resources/educator-resources/lms-integration

FYI I think this feature has now been announced as something coming in the future. Not sure if deep links will be included, etc. though.
