Learning Tools Interoperability®

Integrate PRUEFSTER as Moodle Tool

The integration allows Administrators in Moodle to connect an Exam in EURO with a course in Moodle. Students are registered automatically in EURO when they open the integrated tool in their Moodle course.
The integration works with Moodle 3 and 4.

Part A: Add PRUEFSTER Plugin in Moodle

You must add the PRUEFSTER plugin to your Moodle environment to make the tool available in your courses. This needs to be done only once during the system setup.
Step 1: Get LTI registration link in EURO

Go to “Profile” in the EURO navigation > Click on “Show link” in the LTI registration section > Copy the link.

Step 2: Open tool settings

Go to “Site administration” in your Moodle settings > Choose tab “Plugins” > Select “Manage tools” in the section “External tool”. You should now get an input field for registration links.

Step 3: Add tool

Insert the LTI registration link you copied in Step 1 > Click “LTI Advantage”. The tool should now be displayed in your tool list.

Step 4: Configure tool (Moodle 4)
  1. Make sure the "LTI Version" is set to "LTI 1.3".
  2. Set the “Launch container” selection to “New window” in the dropdown list.
  3. Unselect „Supports Deep Linking (Content-Item Message)“.

The rest should already be configured correctly.

Step 5: Activate tool

After configuring the LTI tool, click on activate to activate the tool.

Part B: Insert EURO into a Moodle Course

Step 1: Choose tool
  1. Open the Moodle course you want to connect.
  2. Activate "Edit Mode" on the top right corner.
  3. Click “Add an activity or resource”.
  4. Choose “External Tool” from the list of all resources.
  5. If the tool does not appear (in Moodle 4):
    1. Click "More" > "LTI External Tools" from the course's top bar.
    2. Set the "Show in activity chooser" option for your tool.
  6. The tool should now appear in the list of all resources described above.
Step 2: Configure tool

Set an “Activity name” (can be anything). Represents your exams name at EURO.

Part C: Using the tool as Administrator or Student

The plugin checks the user role when the user clicks on the tool link displayed in the Moodle course. It will behave different for both of the roles.
Step 1: Creating Exam as Administrator

When you click on the tool as Administrator, you will be forwarded to the Exam creation page in EURO (You must be logged in as a user in EURO to be forwarded correctly).

The “External ID” value is automatically set by the integration. It can´t be changed, as it identifies the connection between the exam in EURO and the course in Moodle.

Step 2: Starting as a Student

When you click on the tool as Student, you will be registered in the exam that was set by the Administrator and the session link opens automatically.

The first opening will lead to the system check, that allows students to checks their systems technically.

After the check is completed, the student will enter the exam session, when clicking on the tool link.
