| == Description ==
| | {{Note|There is no need to install this plugin in Moodle 3.1 onwards, since LTI-provider functionality is included as standard. Please see [[Publish as LTI tool]] for details.}} |
|

|
| === About IMS LTI ===
| | [[es:Proveedor LTI]] |
| | |
| According IMS:
| |
| | |
| ''IMS is developing Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) to allow remote tools and content to be integrated into a Learning Management System (LMS).''
| |
| | |
| === About this plugin ===
| |
| | |
| This is a local plugin for making Moodle a LTI provider tool.
| |
| | |
| It can be use to provide access to full courses or activities from remote systems (other Moodle installations, Sakai, any LMS LTI consumer compliant)
| |
| | |
| Please note that since Moodle 2.2 there is a core activity plugin called "External tool" that is a LTI consumer.
| |
| | |
| === Why this plugin ===
| |
| | |
| This plugin allow remote systems users (LTI consumers) access to Moodle courses or Moodle activities inside a course.
| |
| | |
| Moodle (version 2.2 and onwards) is a LTI consumer tool also.
| |
| | |
| You can use this plugin to share activities and courses between Moodle installations without configuring a Moodle network.
| |
| | |
| You can also share activities and courses with other LTI consumer tools like Sakai
| |
| | |
| You have a detailed view of this plugin possibilities in [http://www.somerandomthoughts.com/blog/2012/01/08/review-lti-provider-for-moodle-2-2/ this post by Gavin Henrik]
| |
| | |
| == Main feautres ==
| |
| | |
| Provide access to full courses or single activities.
| |
| | |
| Change the navigation block of a course or activity for displaying information and links only regarding to your current course.
| |
| | |
| Send backs course or activity final grades to the LTI consumer tool
| |
| | |
| Modify the course or activity page for hiding the header, footer and left or right blocks
| |
| | |
| == Installing and configuring ==
| |
| | |
| Follow instructions here: http://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=local_ltiprovider
| |
| | |
| Once installed, a new link called "LTI Provider" will be displayed in the course navigation block .
| |
| | |
| In this page, you can add, modify and disable the tools provided in your course.
| |
| | |
| Please note that you can provide a tool n times with different configurations
| |
| | |
| There are options for hiding the page header, footer, and left and right blocks and also options for force the Moodle navigation inside a course or activity.
| |
| | |
| There are also options for assign different roles in the course or activity to the remote users.
| |
| | |
| Once added a tool, you will need to use two settings in your consumer tool:
| |
| | |
| * Shared secret
| |
| | |
| * Launch URL
| |
| | |
| Your consumer tool will ask you for a consumer private key, you can use a random string (please, do not use the shared secret as the private key)
| |
| | |
| Configure your consumer tool with these two settings. That's all
| |
| | |
| For a more detailed view of the plugin options see [http://www.somerandomthoughts.com/blog/2012/01/08/review-lti-provider-for-moodle-2-2/ this detailed review of the plugin by Gavin Henrik]
| |
| | |
| == How it works ==
| |
| | |
| === User authentication ===
| |
| | |
| * Users are created automatically in their first access to the system.
| |
| * Users are created with a hashed username and also with an auth method that disable direct login to Moodle.
| |
| * Users are allways enrolled in the course where the activities are.
| |
| | |
| You can choose which role has the Learner and the Teacher from the remote system.
| |
| | |
| There is also settings for setting Users profile default values (email visible, etc...)
| |
| | |
| If you are going to have courses with local and remote users enrolled, I recommend you to create these new roles:
| |
| | |
| * External teacher
| |
| * External student
| |
| | |
| === Grading ===
| |
| | |
| A cron job checks periodically activities for sending back grades (overall course grade or activity grade).
| |
| | |
| == Future versions ==
| |
| | |
| * Handle authentication with a custom auth plugin for Moodle (for handling logout, etc...)
| |
| * Add options for automatically add remote users to course groups.
| |
| * Add options for automatically add remote users to system cohorts.
| |
| * Add options for enabling duration time for enrolments
| |
| * Add support for consumer keys
