Moodle¶

Please be sure to check out the Codio LTI App which allows for an easy way to integrate and to map Codio course assignments to your LMS system. Moodle added support for LTI™ apps in version 2.2. The following page explains how to set up external apps in Moodle.

Setup and Configuration¶

Important Notice

! Important

Codio needs the User Role, Email Address and Name of the Moodle user in order to work. It is important that you access the LTI security settings and ensure that these three fields are enabled. If they are not available, contact Moodle support who can help you enable this. If enabled after you have mapped Codio content to Moodle, you may need to re publish for the changes to be implemented.

Common Cartridge¶

If using the Common Cartridge file you should first set up an External Tool in Moodle with the LTI Key’s and URL’s for your organization. Then in the Moodle course you have created:

Go to the course settings and Restore.
Select the .ismcc to upload it and proceed to restore.
Restore into this Course.
Proceed through the steps.

Note: Restore is required as Moodle currently does not support importing of .imscc files.

To confirm your setup, just click on any assignment available in Moodle. If all configurations are correct, you will be redirected straight to the Teacher view of that assignment in Codio.

Authentication and Account Creation¶

LTI Version 1.3¶
