Follow the steps below to connect your Moodle environment to your SI Cloud courses. Please note that some steps must be performed by your institution's LMS administrator.
If this is the first course using LTI 1.3 for your institution, follow parts 1-5 below.
If you have more than one course SKU to integrate, you can skip part 2 for each additional SKU after the first.
Complete this process for each SKU before you make section copies in your LMS.
1. Create a new tool in Moodle (Admin)
User Role: LMS Administrator Frequency: Once per course/SKU
This step must be completed by an LMS administrator and only needs to be completed once per unique course/kit. This will not need to be performed for clones of a course. For example, once you set up a BIO 101 course, all of your clones of BIO 101 will already be set up with the work done in this step.
See instructions on how to create a new tool in Moodle here.
2. Introduce Moodle to SI Cloud (Admin)
User Role: LMS Administrator Frequency: Once per institution
This step must be completed by an LMS administrator and only needs to be completed once for your institution. It does not need to be done for each course. If you are unsure if you need to do this step or not, contact your LMS administrator or Account Representative.
See instructions on how to introduce Moodle to Cloud here.
3. Connect your Cloud course to Moodle
User Role: LMS Administrator Frequency: Once per course/SKU
Connecting your SI Cloud course to Moodle will allow you to add links to individual lessons in the next step. This will only need to be performed once for each course SKU.
See instructions on how to connect your course here.
4. Add lesson links to your Moodle course
User Role: Any Frequency: Once per course/SKU
Once your first course is connected, you'll create a lesson link in your Moodle course for each lesson in SI Cloud. This allows students to easily access their labs.
See instructions on how to add lesson links here.
5. Copy your course for additional sections (as needed)
User Role: Varies by institution Frequency: As needed
Once your course is set up the first time, you don't need to reintegrate every section, we have a quick and easy cloning process that you can use for additional sections. This is the same process you will follow to copy your course for next term.
