Hi, I am not a coder, but someone looking at WordPress LTi features and found this. Could someone let me know how this lti consumer plugin works?

Hi Ollie,

This WordPress LTI plugin makes it so you can launch Experience API course packages directly from WordPress using the free Saltbox Launcher (launcher.saltbox.com) and a Learning Record Store like Wax LRS.

There are a few parts to make this happen but mostly you don't have to be a developer to use this.

What are you hoping to accomplish with this plugin? Please explain your use case in more detail and I'll see if I can help further.

Thanks, Ali

Hi Ali, I am working at a University. We are looking at integrating our WordPress multisite with Moodle via LTi.

What is a Saltbox Launcher?

I'm not sure what you mean by integrating WordPress with Moodle via LTI. Can you be more specific?

The Saltbox launcher is a free tool that helps people launch Experience API training courses from LTI-enabled systems like Moodle or WP and get tracking/reporting in a Learning Record Store.. See the tutorial for details here: http://launcher.saltbox.com/tutorial

We are trying to set up a hybrid system where Moodle operates as the teacher space, and WordPress works as the student's space. The idea is to able to have Moodle add a WordPress activity as one would any other Moodle activity. When students click the activity in Moodle, they are redirected to WordPress with seamless authentication. In addition to this, we would like it so that lecturers are able to query WordPress for student data and activities like how many posts or comments the students had compiled.

We would also like it so that the lecture can allocate a grade to the student's posts and comments. It's only in early stages so we don't know exactly how we envisage it looking from the UI point of view.

Ollie.

Hi Ollie,

Unfortunately, this is for going the other way. As an LTI consumer, this is the side that would do the launching. I believe others have worked on LTI providers (which is what you need) for Wordpress. Here's a discussion about a few options, though I don't know how up to date it is: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=232060
