DreamApp Contest · Entornos de Formación (EdF)

Why this contest?

At EdF we believe educational innovation starts with bold ideas. With the DreamApp Contest we want to unlock the potential of AI, Big Data, learning analytics and open standards across educational institutions.

We're looking for LTI app ideas that solve real problems: assessment and feedback, accessibility, student wellbeing, AI tutoring, progress dashboards, e-portfolios, virtual labs, and more.

The best ideas will be reviewed and the winning proposal will receive a free functional prototype built by EdF.

2. Participation

Participation starts with the form. EdF will contact finalists to activate a landing and a video for each finalist to promote on social channels. Finalists should promote their proposal as well.

What is LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability)?

Concept

LTI is an open standard by 1EdTech that connects external tools to your LMS (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard…). With LTI 1.3 you can launch the tool inside the LMS, share just-enough context and send grades back.

Why it matters

Better UX: one launch point inside the LMS.
Security: modern, standardised auth flows.
Scalability: one app works across multiple LMSs.
Analytics: consistent events and grades.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can participate?

Members of educational institutions: faculty, innovation/eLearning teams, IT/CTO, and LMS administrators.

Is the prototype production-ready?

No. It’s a prototype to validate value and integration. Further development may be proposed afterwards.
