Introduction to LTI

BibliU's LTI implementation allows users to have an account seamlessly created for them by clicking on the tool in their LMS/VLE course.

Individual Information

BibliU requires both email and name to be transmitted to the application through the LMS. This is sometimes referred to as "Public" privacy or "Unrestricted".

We use this information to create a personalised account for the student, this allows them to:

1. Set a password in the future (A necessity for native app use)
2. Contact us through our in-app support system and receive responses
3. Match Single Sign-On accounts with their LMS equivalents.

If you have further queries about BibliU's privacy policy you can read our end-user privacy policy here: Privacy Policy

The attributes used are:

lis_person_contact_email_primary
lis_person_name_given

Context Information

In addition, we store the context of the LMS section in order to segment users by course, which is a requirement for some content licensing arrangements.
