Use a Moodle LTI-link in your assignment

  • Updated

If you want to set up the integration for an assignment, you’ll need an LTI-link. This LTI link is generated from Moodle. Linking your assignment will allow your students to open the assignment through your LMS. Once the assignment has finished, you are also able to synchronise the results from within Ans. 

Create a link for an assignment with LTI 1.2
error_outline LTI 1.2 will be deprecated on the 27th of August 2023. If you currently have any LTI 1.2 integrations configured on university level, you can continue to use these until then. New LTI 1.2 integrations can no longer be configured on university level. We advise institutions to replace their LTI 1.2 integration to version 1.3 as soon as possible as IMS Global stopped supporting version 1.2 on June 30, 2022. You can find more information on how to setup LTI 1.3 here.
