Basic LTI for moodle

[gautam Bishwas]

Dear ALL

Thanks for your quick response. I have implemented LTI provider in my
product with the help of link provided by you. I am using Basic LTI
tool consumer in Moodle2.x & found that everytime i want to expose a
resource from a LTI Tool producer I need to add it in Basic LTI
administration panel with a shared key pair. This resource can then be
utilised from within the interface of Moodle in an embedded iframe.
When I started using LTI I was of the idea that we register
repositories and then use assets / resources from these repositories
in our LTI tool consumer. However now I find a shift here. We need add
resources with the relevant key/pairs in the Basic LTI Administration
panel in Moodle. This is very limiting by the fact that we have a huge
number of assets(videos, resources, documents, experiences) that needs
to be exposed.

My question is, is there a way to make only one repository per
producer and still identify all of the resources in that repository
with different contexts in different areas / courses? Following what
is happening currently we get a huge list in the "Add an activity"
dropdown which doesn't suit the user experience and is also much of a
constraint. If I have not understood correctly kindly guide me how
this can be done if this can be done.

Awaiting your response.

Rgds,

Gautam,
If I understand your question correctly, the best solution for your problem would be to devepop a general tool producer for all the resources you want to provide and then, once the iframe is launched, provide the user with a list of all the different options to choose from.

Another solution is to use the custom parameters field (in the latest version, teachers also have the ability to set custom parameters) to define at launch time what kind of rewource you wqnt to access with that specific instance.

I hope that helps.

Regards,
Nikolas

Sorry Gautam, I don't understand exactly when you are getting the error. Could you please be a bit more specific.

It seems to be your server not recognising the OAuth authentication details. Make sure you have the correct consumer key and secret set up.

Also, check that you are using the same OAuth libraries basiclti4moodle uses. Umfortunately, for the time being we are using some placeholder OAuth untill there is an officially approved OAuth implementation for Moodle.

Hope this helps,

Dear Nikolos,

My configuration is for creating Basic LTI Activity

Remote Tool Name='Testig LTI';

Remote Tool URL=My tool provider(EX http://..........................)

Resource Key :12345

Remote Tool Password :secret.

After that we creating one course in moodle(Moodle 2.X) and putting Testing Lti as an activity in this course when accessing this activity then we get this  error
