Hi everybody,  
Does anyone know about Open edX LTI feature? Is this going to be deprecated? or moved out to an external package?  
It is [explicitly mentioned](https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/blob/e19f474e547a247acb12d7259d9c5f76293160e5/common/lib/xmodule/xmodule/lti_module.py#L2) that it’s being deprecated in favor of edx-xblock-consumer. so what about using Open edX as an LTI provider?  
This question arose in my mind because of the note over the [Reusing Course Content with LTI](https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-building-and-running-a-course/en/latest/course_features/lti/lti_reuse_content.html) document.

Sorry I wasn’t sure which category this question should be in… @nedbat

Hi @mahyard,

The LTI module you link to is indeed deprecated, as it is no longer actively maintained and serves the same function of [xblock-lti-consumer](https://github.com/edx/xblock-lti-consumer).

If you’re looking for LTI _provider_ functions, however, this is what you’re after: the [lti\_provider](https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/tree/master/lms/djangoapps/lti_provider) LMS app. It’s not very actively improved either, but I’m not aware of it being explicitly deprecated. Last year there was [a PR to add LTI 1.3 support](https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/pull/21435) to it, but unfortunately the community was not very supportive and the author abandoned it.
