Common Questions


What does the LTI Tool do?

The LTI 1.3 tool allows any educator to find Cases that have been published to your site, and embed them within assignments, modules, or other Moodle pages. If educators are members of Groups or already have a Personal Account account on your site where they have been authoring or curating content,  educators will be able to access and embed content from Group Shared Folders and personal My Items libraries using this tool. 


Do I need an existing account on this site to use the LTI Tool?  

When a course instructor launches the LTI tool, a new account will be automatically generated if the instructor doesn't already have one. This gives the Instructor access to all Featured Collections. 


If I do have an existing account on this site, how do I connect it to my Moodle account?


If a user has previously created an account on the platform, and then later launches the LTI Tool in the LMS, the user will be asked for a one-time identity verification to confirm linking their accounts. The user should click the Link Accounts button to verify their identity.


For example, the user will see a message that looks similar to the message below:



How do Students Access Content? 

Account information for student users is not collected or stored. Instead, students have view-only access to content that their instructors have embedded in Moodle courses.
