A common question you may have when integrating MATLAB Grader into your LMS using the LTI standard is what information is being sent to MATLAB Grader from your LMS?

First, please familiarize yourself with the LTI specification on the IMS Global website: http://www.imsglobal.org/specs/ltiv1p1/implementation-guide

Next, take a look at the documentation we provide on LMS integration that is specific to your platform/vendor: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlabgrader/lms-integration.html

MathWorks does not require personally identifiable information. More specifically, here are the standard LTI fields that we DO NOT want nor collect, as opposed to what fields we DO collect.

We do NOT want your LMS to send us: - user_image - lis_person_name_given - lis_person_name_family - lis_person_name_full - lis_person_contact_email

We DO require from your LMS: - roles

The other LTI fields listed in the specification are not related to personally identifiable information, and may be required for the LTI session to be launched successfully. For further questions about what is contained in the LTI specification, please refer to the specification and implementation guide provided by IMS, or contact the vendor of your LMS.
