UNIwise now supporting Learning Tools Interoperability to bring seamless LMS and VLE integrations to European higher education

 
 
Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)® is a standard developed by the IMS Global Learning Consortium and specifies a way to integrate learning applications, often provided by third-party vendors, with platforms like Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Moodle, Canvas, or Blackboard. 
 

WISEflow AND LTI SUPPORT

We are happy to announce that WISEflow now supports LTI v1.3, whereby compatible platforms can utilise WISEflow as a tool on courses and tests. Setting up an LTI integration enables seamless connection between WISEflow and your virtual learning environments. 

Digital platforms have become integral to the ecosystem of educational institutions, enhancing the learning experience, streamlining administrative tasks, and fostering better communication.

Providing support for LTI, educational institutions will have the ability to connect WISEflow as their main exam platform with other learning management systems. This places WISEflow directly in the ecosystem of existing virtual learning experiences.   

WISEflow is the optimal system for carrying out summative exams and has a large range of different flow types catering for the different variants of exams needed by institutions in higher education. Introducing students to WISEflow and embedding WISEflow into their day-to-day course work nowadays can be a fairly labour-intensive manual task or depend on custom built integrations. 

Setting up and managing flows in WISEflow can also be a complex task, which can lead to teachers not harnessing the true potential of WISEflow in their course design. By adding support for LTI in WISEflow, users gain multiple benefits that can only be achieved by connecting the two solutions. 

FIRST STEPS: CANVAS PARTNERSHIP AND LMS INTEGRATION

As a first step, it will be possible to set up an integration between WISEflow and Canvas. UNIwise is an official Canvas partner, allowing both WISEflow and Canvas to facilitate further enrichment of teaching and learning through technology. UNIwise can be found, alongside some additional information, on the official Canvas partnership Listings, and we see this seamless Canvas integration as a huge step in continuing to bring high-quality, deeply beneficial digital assessment solutions to European higher education.

The integration between WISEflow and Canvas will allow assessors and/or managers to easily link flows to courses in the LMS and for users (assessors, managers and participants) to navigate directly to the specific flow in WISEflow from the LMS. This will create secure and standardised communication between the virtual learning platform (LMS) and exam platform (WISEflow), thus improving the user experience and developing faster, easier and safer solutions.  

LOOKING AHEAD: EXPANSION TO MORE PLATFORMS

In the coming months, the LTI integration will be built out further to support connections to platforms such as Moodle, Brightspace and Blackboard. Additionally, development will focus on reducing administrative work, like passing back grades from WISEflow via the LTI or reducing the amount of work associated with setting up and managing flows.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Thinking about switching to WISEflow? Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about functionality, implementation, and why institutions choose UNIwise.

What operational benefits will instructors and administrative staff experience?

WISEflow significantly reduces manual work by automating exam creation, role assignment, and data flows through integration with STADS. This lowers the risk of administrative errors and frees staff to focus on academic quality rather than repetitive tasks.
What makes WISEflow a reliable choice for secure digital and on-site exams?

WISEflow supports the full exam lifecycle, from creation to grading, while offering robust security for supervised on‑site exam environments. Integrations and secure workflows ensure that both students and staff can trust the platform during high‑stakes assessments.
How does WISEflow differ from other digital assessment platforms?  WISEflow stands out by offering a unified solution for the entire sector, strong integration with Student Information Systems (SIS), flexible exam formats, and a structured onboarding process. UNIwise acts as a strategic partner rather than just a vendor. 
What is Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) and why does it matter for universities?
LTI is an open standard that enables seamless integration between learning tools and Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and Brightspace. For universities, this means smoother workflows, reduced friction for users, and easier access to third‑party tools within existing digital learning environments.
What does the integration between WISEflow and Canvas enable?

WISEflow’s initial LTI integration with Canvas allows assessors and managers to link flows to LMS courses, create secure navigation paths, and unify communication between systems. As an official Canvas partner, UNIwise ensures a reliable, supported integration that improves the teaching and learning experience.
How does LTI integration improve the user experience for teachers and students?

With LTI, users can access WISEflow flows directly from their familiar LMS environment, reducing confusion and login steps. Teachers can more easily embed assessments into their course design, while students experience a more streamlined, secure, and unified workflow across teaching and exams.
