LTI Usage Phase 2

Blog	Powerful New Capabilities Added to LTI Usage

Users can now export data from any table within LTI Usage. This allows users to manipulate and take action on data outside of the application as needed. It empowers users to combine this data with other sources for more institution-specific, complex, and comprehensive insights.
