How do I configure the connection to Moodle?

Cogniti can interface with Moodle LMS through LTI 1.3.

LTI 1.3 #

The LTI 1.3 connection allows Cogniti agents, interactive mini-apps, and sandboxes to be embedded into Moodle for seamless access by students.

In Moodle Site administration admin, go to Plugins, then Activity modules, then Manage activities, then External tool, then Settings, then Add preconfigured tool.

These are the important settings (the others you can decide for yourself):

Tool URL: https://app.cogniti.ai/lti/launch
LTI version: LTI 1.3
Public key type: Keyset URL
Public keyset: Please contact us, or view this in your organisation administration screen in Cogniti. It will be typically in the form of https://app.cogniti.ai/lti/jwks/<organisation_id>. Each organisation has its own key. The key is only needed for LTI Advantage services (such as the Names and Roles Provisioning Services).
Initiate login URL: https://app.cogniti.ai/lti/login
Redirection URI(s): https://app.cogniti.ai/lti/launch

Once the configuration has been established, please make a note of the following so that a Cogniti system administrator can configure this connection on the Cogniti end. You can obtain these details through Site administration admin, then Plugins, then Activity modules, then External tool, then Manage tools, and clicking the list icon or view configuration icon (depending on your Moodle version):
