How to use Wooclap's LTI 1.3 integration in Moodle
Wooclap integrates with Moodle via the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) 1.3 standard. Once the integration is installed, it is added to your list of available tools and allows you to create and present a Wooclap event, along with all of its features, from within your Moodle instance.
Our LTI 1.3 integration is available for Wooclap users with a Campus or Corporate licence.
Install the LTI 1.3 integration
To use the LTI integration, you will need Wooclap access keys. Your institution's LMS administrator can request these through your organization's Customer Success Manager. They will also be able to guide the administrator in installing the required keys.
☝️ If you wish to install the plugin on multiple Moodle instances (e.g., staging server and production server), each instance must have its own set of keys to avoid any unintended behaviour.
Add a Wooclap event to your course
To add a Wooclap event to your course, log in to Moodle and choose the course in which you would like to add a Wooclap activity.
When in editing mode, click on Add an activity or resource and select the LTI 1.3 integration. A new window will appear where you will be able to name your Wooclap activity and add a description (the latter is optional). You will also find further options for your activity here.
Once you have created your activity, you can either choose to import a quiz that you have previously created, duplicate a Wooclap event from the activities you have already integrated into your LMS, or create a brand-new Wooclap event. Finally, click on Save and display to automatically be redirected to the Wooclap interface.
💡 Note that the language of your extension depends on the language set in the Wooclap account linked to your Moodle instance. If you wish to change this language, go to your Wooclap account settings.
Create your event from scratch
Create your event from scratch
To create a new event and link it to your Moodle course, first go into your course and activate Edit mode. Click on Add an activity or resource and select the LTI 1.3 integration. Enter a name for your activity and click on Select content.
Here, select Create from scratch and give your new event a title. Once you have saved your activity, you will be able to edit and add questions to this new event.
Click on your new activity to add your questions and change your settings. You can create or import your questions as you would on Wooclap.
Note that you can also directly edit your course from Wooclap to use it in Moodle. However, you need to present your event from Moodle to later synchronize grades.
Duplicate an event
Duplicate an event
You can also choose to duplicate an existing event to present it through Moodle. To do this, first go into your course and activate Edit mode. Click on Add an activity or resource and select the LTI 1.3 integration. Enter a name for your activity and click on Select content.
Here, select Duplicate an existing event and Continue. You can then select or search for the event you wish to duplicate. Click on Confirm Choice and give your duplicated event a title. Click on Save to confirm the setup of your new activity.
You can then edit your course from Moodle or from Wooclap. Note that this duplicated event will have a different code than the original one. Additionally, you will need to present your event from Moodle to later synchronize grades.
Use a template
Use a template
You can also choose to import a template to present your event through Moodle. To do this, first go into your course and activate Edit mode. Click on Add an activity or resource and select the LTI 1.3 integration. Enter a name for your activity and click on Select content.
Here, select Choose a template and click on Continue. You can then choose between your organizational templates or Public templates. You can directly select or search for the template you wish to add to your Moodle course. Click on Confirm Choice and give your event a title. Click on Save to confirm the setup of your new activity.
Authentication through an LMS and synchronizing grades
LMS authentication
Before starting your event, make sure to activate the correct authentication method in the main settings (LMS login) to synchronise the Wooclap event with your LMS.
To do that, enter your event via your Moodle course. There, go to Settings (1) and you will be able to activate the LMS authentication (2). This setting is only available when you have reached your event through Moodle.
☝️ Results, attendance, and participation synchronisation only work for participants who are connected to the event via their Moodle account. If you activate other authentication methods, you will not be able to synchronize grades for participants not authenticated through their Moodle account.
This has the added advantage of restricting students' access to the activity. By activating the LMS authentication, only students will be able to participate in the activity.
Synchronizing grades
☝️ Be aware that you need to activate LMS authentication for your event for the grades to be synchronized. Note that the attendance sheet is not an authentication method and will not let you synchronize grades.
In Moodle, you can synchronize results, attendance, and participation for one event. You can also choose to only synchronize one of the three grades. To discover the meaning of each grade, refer back to this article.
You can synchronize grades once your session is over by clicking on Synchronize with LMS in the banner displayed at the top of the interface.
The corresponding grades are then available under Grades. Note that questions without correct answers (such as Open questions or Word Clouds) are not taken into account. If you synchronize multiple grades, you will see multiple columns corresponding to results, attendance, and participation.
Changing maximum grades
By default, grades in Wooclap are rated on a scale of 100. To change this, activate Edit mode and click on the three buttons next to your activity. Then, choose Edit settings and go to Grade. Here you can change the type of points given as well as the maximum grade. Do not forget to save your settings before going back to your course.
Present your Wooclap event through Moodle
To present your Wooclap event, simply click on the activity you have created in Moodle. You will be redirected to your event. Then, click on Display or Start event, as you would for an event presented directly from Wooclap.
When entering the event, participants will be automatically redirected to Moodle if they are already connected. Otherwise, they can connect to the event directly through the event itself or through Moodle by selecting the Wooclap activity in the corresponding course.
