Configuring LTI Pro 1.1 for Sakai


Sakai is a cloud-based LMS. The Zoom LTI integration with Sakai allows students and faculty to start and join Zoom meetings via a join link that is displayed on a Sakai course, share cloud recording links to the course, and auto-provision Zoom users when they first access Zoom via Sakai.
