- This will take you to the settings page titled Adding a new external tool. If the external tool has not been configured by the administrator, you will need to know the correct Tool URL, consumer key and shared secret. These should have been provided to you by the managers of the LTI compliant website you are going to be connecting to.
- Add the following details (NB you'll need to click Show advanced to access the consumer key and shared secret fields).
- Activity name - give the title you wish the students to see on the course page
- Preconfigured tool - this is how Moodle communicates with the tool provider. If in doubt, leave as default. If your administrator has made a tool available sitewide, you will be able to select it here.
- (Secure) Tool URL - This is the URL for connecting to site, if not using a preconfigured tool. (Note, you only need to add a tool URL, but make sure it starts with https:// (i.e. it is secure).
- Consumer key - This tells the connecting LTI compliant site that your Moodle is allowed to connect. The "tool provider", i.e. the manager of the connecting LTI compliant site will issue you with this key. If you are merely linking to a tool with no secure access or gradebook sharing then you won't need a consumer key.
- Shared secret - This is the "password" to connect to the tool - the LTI compliant site.
- Once you have entered all the details click Save and return to course.
