The Moodle integration

Angela Konijn
  • Updated

Ans supports Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI). LTI integrations can be used to connect your Learning Management System (LMS) with Ans. Ans currently supports LTI 1.3. Within this version of LTI, the following actions can be supported when the integration is made:

  • Within your LMS, you can make a connection to a test in Ans. After the students sign in to the LMS and open the test, then the test will be opened in a new tab and students will be redirected to their test in Ans without having to sign in again.
  • The results can be sent back to the LMS, after the students have successfully submitted their test in Ans.

If you are ready to start with the Moodle integration through LTI 1.3, you will need to activate the integration on school level in Ans. You will need to set up the integration both in Ans and Moodle. The steps below will take you through this process, which is divided into different sections. First, you will need to prepare the set-up of the integration in Ans, after which you will need to set up the integration in Moodle. Once you have completed these steps, you are able to configure the integration in Ans as the final step. 

Prepare the integration in Ans

  1. Click the domain  School name in the menu on the left.
  2. Click  Settings in the menu at the top.
  3. Click Integrations in the menu on the left
  4. Click Configure in the Moodle-section.

A pop-up will show up containing three personal links, which you will need to set up the integration in Moodle in the next section. You can identify the different links by the word they end on: logins, launches or lti/keys. Keep these links handy for the next section. You will be filling in the open fields in this pop-up after you are done setting up the integration in Moodle.
