Using Open edX as an LTI Tool Provider#
You can also include content from an LTI provider in your courses. For more information, see About the LTI Component.
Grading Remote Content#
Warning
This feature was a closed pilot experiment. This feature is poorly documented and may not work properly.
When you include problem components from a graded subsection in your Open edX instance in an external LMS, your Open edX instance will grade the learner responses to those problems. Your instance then transfers the learner scores back to the external LMS. This exchange between an external LMS, your Open edX instance, and the external LMS again is near real time. It can take a few moments to complete this exchange for a single problem component, and up to several minutes to return aggregated scores of all of the problems in a unit or subsection.
When you include problem components from your Open edX instance in an external LMS, note the following requirements.
The problem component must be in one of the graded subsections in your course.
Your external LMS might also require that you use a specific part of the course for graded content. For example, in Canvas, you must add the LTI URL of a problem component to the “Assignments” section of a course, or to a module item that points to an assignment. In addition, the user who launches the LTI material must be eligible to get a grade for the assignment; that is, a learner and not a TA or course designer.
For more information about constructing an LTI URL for a course component, see Determine Content Addresses when using Open edX as an LTI Provider.
