Overview
You can create an HTML block to sign in to iTunes U from your Moodle course. iTunes U can be used as a storage site for large media files used in courses. Rather than having students open a new page or tab in their browser then navigate to your iTunes U site and THEN log in, simply create a block on your course page that lets them sign in directly from Moodle.
Instructions
Step 1.
Locate the web address of the iTunes U course by dragging the iTunes U course button (located in the bread crumbs trail in iTunes) to your desktop and opening it in a text editing program like Text Edit or Text Pad.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>URL</key> <string>http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/BrowsePrivately/SOMESCHOOL.edu</string> </dict> </plist>
Step 2.
Create the html code as a Form context substituting the URL with your own iTunes U course URL.
<body> <form id="moodlelogin" name="moodlelogin" method="post" action="YOUR ITUNES U COURSE URL GOES HERE"> <label>username <input type="text" name="username" id="username" /> </label> <label>password <input type="password" name="password" id="password" /> </label> <label> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /> </label> </form> </body>
Step 3.
Log in to Moodle and go to your course page. Turn Editing On and create a new HTML block. Give the Block a Title and, switching to HTML mode, paste the HTML code from Step 2 into the block.
Save the new block and Turn Editing Off.
Your new iTunes U block should show a Username and Password (the password will be hidden characters when entered) field. Students can now log in directly to your iTunes U course content.
