Publish as LTI tool

New feature
in Moodle 3.1! The 'Publish as LTI tool' enrolment plugin, together with the LTI authentication plugin, allows remote users on a different site (known as an LTI consumer) to access selected courses and activities. In other words, Moodle functions as an LTI tool provider. Grades are sent back to the remote system.

Enabling 'Publish as LTI tool' at site level

An administrator can enable the 'Publish as LTI tool' for use across the site:

1. Go to Site administration > Plugins > Authentication > Manage authentication and enable LTI
2. Go to Site administration > Plugins > Enrolments > Manage enrol plugins and enable 'Publish as LTI tool'

Sharing access to a course or activity

1. Go to the course and in Course administration > Users > Enrolment methods add 'Publish as LTI tool' as an enrolment method
2. In 'Tool to be provided' select the course or activity to be shared
3. Click the 'Add method' button
4. Go to Course administration > Published as LTI tools and make note of the URL and secret for the LTI consumer

The LTI consumer can be another Moodle site or any other LTI-consumer-compliant LMS, such as Sakai.
