Admin – one time process
General
This is a one-time step in which you create a new “External Tool” in Moodle.0′;
The “External Tool” holds the details of your Leganto account.
Three parameters were generated after you created the LTI Integration Profile in Alma.
You will be asked to supply these parameters when creating the “External Tool”.
Manage External Tool Types
Go to Site administration => Plugins => Activity modules => LTI => Manage external tool types
Add an External Tool Configuration
Configure external tool
Fill in the following values:
Tool name – This name will be seen by whomever creates LTI links in your courses (next step).
We recommend using a name such as “Reading List” or “Course Materials”
(or another meaningful name).
Tool base URL – Take this from the Alma LTI configuration profile, from field ‘Launch URL‘
Consumer key – Take this from the Alma LTI configuration profile, from field ‘LTI Key’
Shared secret – Take this from the Alma LTI configuration profile, from field ‘LTI Secret’
Custom parameters – Copy paste the following:
lis_course_code=$CourseSection.sourcedId
lms_course_start_date=$CourseSection.timeFrame.begin (for creating courses on the fly)
lms_course_end_date=$CourseSection.timeFrame.end (for creating courses on the fly)
lms_course_end_date=$CourseSection.timeFrame.end (for creating courses on the fly)
Check ‘Show tool type when creating tool instances’
Default launch container – Change value to ‘New window’.
Click “Save”.
You Are Done
You are now ready to Create a Leganto Link in a Course
You may find that the default iFrame height for Moodle is too small. We strongly recommend installing the iFrame height plugin.
