[Xerte] Re: Xerte Digest, Vol 191, Issue 9

If you use 'other' as the access setting, you can set a url, i.e. http://moodle.nottingham.ac.uk as the referring domain. Only links clicked from this domain are able to see the content in toolkits - so you can already control this from toolkits, although perhaps not as gracefully as you'd like? When you want to prevent access - at the end of a course - then you can make it private again.

Our problem is not accessing content from our own Moodle, it is being able to give access to an agreed number of users for a fixed length of time in someone else's Moodle, so we need to give them a resource link that we can authenticate and control from the tool end. 

We have been looking for this type of solution for a while, experimenting with proxy server access to out course materials, but it looks as if IMS LTI is the solution and new standard other people are now using. I would have thought that the latest version of XOT would have been LTI compatible and provide the necessary interface to manage such resources in this way. 

Can I confirm if this has been implemented or even considered? It appears to be the way the market is heading.

Kind regards.
