[Xerte] Re: Xerte and IMS LTI

Fri Aug 8 09:26:04 BST 2014

Yes, we use it to provide access to toolkits from Moodle, although as Moodle's LTI implementation is pretty horrible we don't find many use it: you get to it by adding 'external tool' from moodle's menu which then let's you add a Xerte Online Toolkits item, which then allows you to login, which then allows you to select a LO to include. It is just horribly unintuitive.

It's just a lot easier to log into toolkits, grab a url and add that directly in Moodle.

These screens illustrate the LTI journey...

Not sure if you've discovered this already but Xerte already has some LTI functionality configurable via the management page. Some basic notes in the documentation folder e.g. \documentation\LTI Documentation.txt

However I don't think it has the automatic account creation functionality part of LTI so I'm not sure it currently works in the way you would want but could be wrong about that, it's quite a while since I tested this. Likewise if you require tracking of scores etc in the remote LMS I don't think that's possible with the current codebase either. However I know Tom Reijnders has been looking at, or plans to look at, Tin Can functionality so  that might be a possibility for the tracking side etc in the future.

Obviously it's open source so you could always add the functionality you require and if you do then share that back with the community.

Subject: [Xerte] Xerte and IMS LTI

I have just discovered IMS LTI and it looks as if it is the solution to the problem we have delivering course content to other user's local LMS, without losing control of the content.

The LMS end of the system looks straight forward but I am looking for any experience anyone has of setting up the LTI Tool end using course materials developed in Xerte. Is there a way to deliver Xerte learning objects as remote tools in an IMS LTI configuration?

Has anyone done this already or am I going to have to start from scratch?

Kind regards,

Andrew
