Moodle与我的PHP项目集成

Question

I've been developing a project using php that my students use to take quizes (that moodle can't do itself) Now I would like to integrate moodle and my project such that my project authenticates against moodle users and reports grades into a courses gradebook. I've so far been authenticating using direct database reading but I'm very hesitant to do writes to the moodle database. I'm also aware of LTI; I am open to using it but the human readable documentation and any samples are impossible to find. If you could provide me a sample or documentation thats less theory and more applicable for LTI it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

To do this you need to use the Web Services API. You need to setup a web service first, see Using web services . The entire API documentation is available on your Moodle site via Administration > Plugins > Web services > API Documentation .

Answer 2

You need to use moodle's External Tool, which is created precisely for this kind of uses. External tool uses LTI in the background to send user, course, role etc information to an external application and the external application can even send back scores to moodle if configured as a quiz.

Check out : https://docs.moodle.org/23/en/External_tool

You will also have to make your quiz taking app, an LTI provider. This open source package is out of the box package to create LTI provider in ruby - https://github.com/instructure/ims-lti There are similar tools in other languages too, but this one is the most polished one.
