Will the Student or Teacher in LMS view the latest content as soon as it's updated from LOR, if the course is distributed using the LTI package?
No, a student or teacher in the LMS cannot view the latest content as soon as it's updated from LOR, if the course is distributed using the LTI package. However, once the changes are available in the LOR (using publish or republish from Designer or a direct update from LOR), post a caching of 15 minutes the student & teacher will be able to view the latest content. For those 15 minutes, they will continue seeing the older or the cached content.
