Hey Tim, thanks for responding to my query.
> When the LTI resource_link_id is associated with a section on a list, and the list is subsequently archived, then the LTI link will continue to work for as long as the Archived list exists.
This is good. I didn’t realise until last week that Archived lists are still visible, if not discoverable, once you have the list URL.
> Where an LTI link is copied in the VLE from old course to new course, it is given a new resource_link_id which we will have never seen before, and so is treated as a brand new link, and the academic gets to choose what to link to. The thing we can't do at the moment in Moodle is tell from an LTI link where that copied link came from, so have no way to do any fancy guesswork.
OK so this is... a cause for concern, if I understand this correctly? If we roll over, every LTI embedded reading list section would be given a new ID, and Moodle has no way of associating the new link with the old one from the previous year's list. So -every- LTI created section link in Moodle will break, and would have to be manually relinked to the correct section in the new, rolled over list. Is that right?
We are weighing up whether to rollover or not, and that sounds like an enormous amount of manual work for the Moodle editors to do, if that's the case.
> Some VLEs (Canvas being one as you know) can release some contextual history using custom variables, but we're still working out the best way to handle this across all the VLEs as the actual type of contextual history available varies and so makes the 'relinking' logic complex.
So is Canvas currently the only VLE able to interpret the context of a new LTI resource link ID from its old one, and retain it after rollover?
Thanks for any help you can give.
