Hello Community Members!

I'm planning to deliver a few courses to my students via the MoodleCloud LMS. The course has a lab exercise component, for which I'm planning to use the Azure Lab Services. My students should be able to launch the lab from the MoodleCloud. To that end, I'm considering the integration options that I have at my disposal. I'm particularly interested in the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) integration. I learn that LTI is a standard-based integration mechanism and it has been supported by many LMS, including MoodleCloud. These are my questions: 

  1. Does Azure Lab Services support LTI integration?
  2. What other integration options do I have?

I was checking the documentation at https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/azure/lab-services/, but I couldn't find any references in regard to the LTI integration.

Any input/thoughts are highly appreciated. Thanks.

    Azure Lab Services does not support LTI integration. However, Azure Lab Services can be integrated with Microsoft Teams and Canvas Learning Management System (LMS). You can access and manage your labs from within Microsoft Teams by using the Azure Lab Services Teams app. Take advantage of team membership and permissions in Microsoft Teams to grant access to labs and provision lab virtual machines.
    Similarly, Azure Lab Services provides an integrated experience for using labs with Canvas. Canvas LMS is a cloud-based learning management system that provides one place for course content, quizzes, and grades for both educators and students. Educators can create labs from within Canvas and students will see their lab virtual machines alongside their other material for a course.
