LSE Moodle LTI 1.3 Platform

LSE runs its own Moodle virtual learning environment at moodle.lse.ac.uk on its own registrable domain, resolving directly to AWS with no vendor CNAME (managed hosting is provided by Catalyst IT, a Moodle Partner, but the LTI issuer, the signing keys and the SAML SP entity are LSE's own). It exposes the IMS LTI 1.3 / LTI Advantage platform endpoints an external tool integrates against: a live JWKS at /mod/lti/certs.php returning one RSA RS256 key, an OAuth 2.0 client-credentials token endpoint at /mod/lti/token.php, and the OIDC third-party-initiated login endpoint at /mod/lti/auth.php. Tool registration is closed and held by LSE; there is no public self-service onboarding and no .well-known discovery document. A SAML2 service-provider metadata document and a credentialed Moodle Web Services REST endpoint sit alongside it on the same host.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of LSE Moodle LTI 1.3 Platform, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
