How Does Skillways Work with Third-party Tools?

Overview

Any third-party tool (e.g., VoiceThread, YellowDig) that can be used within an LMS can just as easily be used and linked within Skillways as a learning activity and tracked through the curriculum map. 

Adding Third-Party Tools

Adding a third-party tool to a course can be done in several ways.

• You can fully integrate it into the course with an LTI link. Using an LTI link allows for user data to be passed back in Skillways. Not all third-party tools have that ability.
• You can be provided with an external link that can be added to a module or even to an activity prompt that, once clicked, will take the user to an external site where learners can navigate. The data does not pass back to Skillways.
