How do I connect Niche Academy to Moodle?

Moodle is a Learning Management system Niche Academy can integrate into.

Note: Niche Academy will need to be added to Moodle by a system admin

 

Navigate to system admin→external tools→manage tools→configure a tool manually 

• Give the tool a name (ex. Niche Academy)
• The tool URL is  https://my.nicheacademy.com
• Select LTI Version 1.3
• The public key type, keyset, login URL, content selection URL, and redirection URI can be found in Niche Academy’s general settings→advanced→ View Registered Platform button.
  
  
  
• Select supports deep linking 
• Under services select “use this service” for all three fields. 

 

• Under privacy select “always” for all three fields
  
  

Click Save Changes and select the list icon on the external tool module you built. Paste the Tool configuration details into Niche Academy under View Registered Platform--> “New Platform.” Once placed click save. 

 

To test your new Niche Academy tool navigate to any course and make sure “edit mode” is turned on.

• Select add a new activity or resource and select external tool
• Give your activity a name (ex. Fighting Fake News)
• Under preconfigured tools, you should see the new Niche Academy tool. 
• If the configuration was a success, your academy tutorial selection menu should appear.
