Integrating Microsoft products with your Learning Management System (LMS)

Microsoft Education and our third-party partners understand that the flow of teaching and learning invariably crosses solution boundaries. We're working on providing more seamless experiences, keeping educators and learners focused on their goals, rather than having to juggle tools. We're integrating Microsoft products wherever teaching and learning occurs, including within and alongside Learning Management Systems (LMS).

We've worked with our LMS partners to create a suite of tools using the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard that brings the best of Microsoft directly into your LMS.

These tools include:

• OneDrive LTI
• Teams Assignments LTI
• Microsoft Reflect LTI

You can also sync teams with your LMS.

For general information on managing Microsoft LTI apps, see Manage Microsoft LTI apps for any LMS.

Important

We're streamlining the LTI® (Learning Tools Interoperability) experiences for education customers who may be using different LMS systems. We're simplifying onboarding and usage by consolidating the capabilities of multiple LTI tools available today into fewer and more functional tools.

The capabilities of the Teams LTI and Meetings LTI tools are among the first tools updated in this consolidation. Microsoft is announcing the end of support for the Teams Classes LTI and Meetings LTI tools on September 15, 2025, as their capabilities will be superseded by a new, unified experience. Release details for the unified experience are forthcoming.
