LTI SUPPORT WITH MOODLE

[camilo franco]

Hi,

We are trying to implement tutor shop as a provider of lti in mooodle, and when we do the connection shows us the entry page of tutorshop, im wondering if i need to create the users in tutor shop and give them a user and password in order to obtain the grades or maybe i dont need register them and is a configuration of lti in moodle, if anyone knows about, please contact me.

I appreciate your collaboration.

Hi Camilo,

It's not clear to me when you're saying you're getting the tutorshop front page, is it when running tutors? If so, you don't need to create user accounts in tutorshop, but you do need to set moodle credentials in tutorshop. So you need to create a school in tutorshop, and on its Settings tab you need to add a pair of key/secret credentials for the consumer side. And you'll need to put these credentials somewhere in moodle, according to the documentation after clicking the 'Show more' button in the external tool settings. And you also need to set the 'tool URL' of the external tool as the string you find in tutorshop on the respective problem set's Settings tab under 'LTI Launch URL'.

With these settings you should be able to run problem sets, and if moodle specifies an outcome service, tutorshop will also send grades back to it so you can see them in moodle's gradebook. If you want to also be able to see reports with real user names in tutorshop, you need to enable moodle to send real user information to tutorshop, not just an anonymous id, if such a setting is available.

If the above settings don't work, please let me know, there might be an issue with the code, we've never used LTI with moodle before. I might need a way to test it though, I don't currently have access to a moodle server.

Best,
Octav
