Quick Answer<\/h2>\n

Microsoft 365 connects to an LMS in several different ways. Educational institutions can register the Microsoft 365 LTI app on a supported LTI 1.3 platform. Corporate teams more often need Entra ID sign-in, a Teams meeting activity, OneDrive or SharePoint resource links, calendar sync, or an approved Microsoft Graph integration. Map the use case and permissions first, validate everything in a test course, then address any retired classic LTI tools. Microsoft 365 LTI is an education-focused integration. It does not replace every enterprise Microsoft 365 connector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Paradiso LMS offers Microsoft 365 integration options, including Microsoft Entra ID single sign-on, Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and Outlook connectivity. Additional capabilities, such as user synchronization, calendar integration and Teams meeting activities, depend on the supported connectors and configuration of the LMS environment.<\/p>\n

What Microsoft 365 integration with an LMS means<\/h2>\n

Microsoft 365 integration connects learning administration with the tools employees and students already use. A course stops being an isolated destination. Training sessions can sit in Teams, reference documents can live in SharePoint<\/a> or OneDrive, and scheduled classes can appear in Outlook calendars. The LMS stays responsible for course records, enrollments, completions and reports. The Microsoft applications support the work around them.<\/p>\n

Older documentation and many search queries still say Office 365. This guide uses Microsoft 365, and keeps the old name only where it identifies a legacy plugin or application<\/p>\n

What Is Microsoft 365 LTI?<\/h2>\n

Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) is a 1EdTech standard that lets a learning platform launch external tools securely. Where the LTI Advantage services are implemented, it can also pass roster information, deep-linked content and grades. It is not a generic Teams connector and it is not single sign-on<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Microsoft 365 LTI brings several Microsoft Education experiences into a compatible LMS through one app: Teams, Teams Meetings, OneDrive, OneNote Class Notebook, Assignments and Reflect. Which of these work depends on your LMS, your tenant and the features supported for that platform<\/a>. Meeting attendance does not automatically become LMS completion.<\/p>\n

Requirements before you deploy<\/h4>\n

Microsoft’s deployment guidance for LTI 1.3 platforms requires four things: LTI Core, Deep Linking, Names and Roles Provisioning Services (NRPS) and Assignment and Grading Services (AGS). You also need:<\/p>\n
