LMS setup guides

Each guide starts in LearnHouse under Developers → LTI. Menu names are from the LMS versions we test against.

Content and assignments per LMS

Every LMS above can open all LearnHouse content types and receives assignment grades. What differs is how many items one selection can add and what the LMS does with the gradebook column.

Moodle

1. In LearnHouse, enter a name and click Connect with a registration URL.
2. In Moodle, go to Site administration → Plugins → Activity modules → External tool → Manage tools, paste the URL in Tool URL and click Add LTI Advantage.
3. Moodle shows the new tool as Pending. Click Activate.
4. Optional: edit the tool and set Default launch container to New window.
5. Teachers add an External tool activity, pick LearnHouse and click Select content.

Canvas

1. In LearnHouse, click Connect with a registration URL.
2. In Canvas, go to Admin → Developer Keys → + Developer Key → LTI Registration, paste the URL and continue.
3. Review the permissions and placements (Link Selection and Assignment Selection), then click Enable & Close.
4. Install the tool in a course or account: Settings → Apps → + App → By Client ID.
5. Teachers create an assignment with Submission type: External Tool → Find → LearnHouse to get a graded assignment. To add several items at once, use Modules → + → External Tool → LearnHouse instead: Canvas creates a graded assignment for each gradable item, with the LearnHouse due date. Due date and title changes made in LearnHouse later are copied to the Canvas assignment either way.

Open edX

Open edX creates a separate LTI registration for each LTI block, so add one platform in LearnHouse per block.

1. In LearnHouse, click Add manually and keep the page open.
2. In Studio, add "lti_consumer" to Settings → Advanced Settings → Advanced Module List.

   • LTI version: LTI 1.3
   • Tool launch URL, Tool initiate login URL, Registered redirect URIs: from LearnHouse
   • Tool public key mode: Keyset URL, then the LearnHouse public keyset URL
   • Deep linking: enabled, with the LearnHouse deep linking URL
   • Assignment and Grades Service: Allow tools to manage and submit grades (programmatic)
   • Names and Role Provisioning: enabled; Scored: yes
4. Save. The block now shows Client ID, Deployment ID, Keyset URL, Access Token URL and Login URL. Copy them into LearnHouse. The issuer is your LMS root URL.
