How do I set up a Moodle External Tool Link in a Perceivant Course? – Bearface

These instructions are for setting up a link from your Moodle course to your Perceivant course. You will need to request a Key and Secret if you have not already been provided one by Perceivant.

Log into Moodle

In the Course that you would like to add the LTI link, under the Course Administration menu, click turn editing on. From your course, select Add Activity or Resource and select External Tool. Then click Add.(This step may vary depending on the Moodle implement. This selection may be from a drop down box instead of a pop-up.)

On the Adding a new External Tool page, complete the following fields (Under General, click show more... link to open all fields):

General
- Activity Name: Be sure to give it a name that clearly identifies it as the way the student will access their course material. We find that if it’s vague like “Textbook”, the students don’t understand that this is the way they will access all their course material every time they need to get to it. Ex. HES 100-001, PF: Conditioning Course Material Access
- Activity Description: This is helpful to explain to the student that they should always use this link to access their course material.
