After we communicate your LTI key, secret, and provider domain, follow the directions below to integrate OLI courses into Moodle. Your screen view may differ from the screenshots below. If you are unable to use the instructions and screenshots to orient yourself, please contact OLI Support: oli-help@lists.andrew.cmu.edu.

STEP 1
Set Instructor Role in Moodle Course


Instructors first need to be enrolled in their Moodle course with the role “Teacher.” To enroll an instructor, enter the course and select “Enrolled users” under Settings > Course administration. Press the “Enroll users” button. Change “Assign roles” to Teacher. Press the “Enroll” button next to the instructor’s name.


STEP 2
Setup of OLI as External Tool (Systems Administrators)

Go to Home > Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > External Tool .

  1. Click “Add external tool configuration.”
  2. Complete the fields as shown in the screen capture.
    • For the Tool Base URL enter: https://oli.cmu.edu/jcourse/webui/basiclti.do .
