Integrating WirisQuizzes via LTI on D2L/Brightspace
Reading time: 4minWirisQuizzes for Brightspace is an app that can be installed on D2L/Brightspace as a remote plugin. This deployment is LTI-based and connects to a back-end Moodle hosted on our servers.
You can include WirisQuizzes question types in your D2L/Brightspace environment by following the instructions explained below.
Admin: Installation
The first step to using WirisQuizzes on a D2L/Brightspace campus is to install WirisQuizzes as a remote plugin in your D2L/Brightspace course.
Credentials
Before installing the plugin into your campus, you need to get the login credentials for your institution.
Note
If you have already purchased your license and want to use your institution's Product Key, go to the Wiris store with your user/password for www.wiris.com and search for the Product Key of your WirisQuizzes LTI license. The Consumer Key is your institution's domain (if your website is 'www.acme.net', the Consumer key will be 'acme.net').
Installing WirisQuizzes through LTI
Then, you need to activate the WirisQuizzes plugin in D2L/Brightspace. To do so, you must follow two steps: add WirisQuizzes as a remote plugin and configure the domain. Each of these steps has a different form that must be completed correctly.
To add WirisQuizzes as a remote plugin, you need to do the following:
- Log in to D2L/Brightspace with an administrator account.
- Click the Admin Tools ⚙️ icon in the top right corner on the Homepage (not inside a course). Select Remote Plugins in the drop-down menu that appears.
- A pop-up form called Create a new Remote Plugin will appear when you click New Remote Plugin.
- Fill the form with the data below:
* Plugin Type: QuickLink (CIM).
* Name: WIRIS QUIZZES LTI (this is just a recommendation, you can choose something different)
* Launch Point URL: https://www.wiris.net/client/lti/quizzes/launch.
* LTI Key: Provided by the WIRIS team.
* LTI Secret: Provided by the WIRIS team.
* After setting the Key and Secret, the OAuth Signature Method field appears. Set it to HMAC-SHA1.
* You can leave the other fields blank.
- At the end of the form, click the Add Org Units button and add the courses for which the plugin should be available.
To configure the domain, you need to do the following:
- Log in to Brightspace with an administrator account.
- Click the Admin Tools ⚙️ icon in the top right corner on the Homepage (not inside a course). Select External Learning Tools.
- Click the third item in the tab menu called Manage Tool Providers.
Warning
There are two different External Learning Tools pages types: a global one and then one for each course. You can configure either one, but keep in mind that course one overrides the global one, and it only applies to that course. The global one can be accessed through ⚙️ Admin Tools > External Learning Tools. Course one can be accessed through: [Course] > Course Tools > All Course Tools > External Learning Tools.
- A tool provider with the wiris.net name in the Launch point column should appear in the list.
- Click to edit and check all the boxes under Security Settings. In Add Org Units, you'll find all the courses where the plugin is available.
Manage WirisQuizzes
Finally, once the WirisQuizzes plugin is available for your teachers on the D2L/Brightspace campus, you need to configure the back-end authoring platform by following the steps below.
Note
- The back-end authoring platform is a Moodle-based platform. This platform is provided by Wiris and located at https://quizzeslti.wiris.net/example.com/, where 'example.com' is the domain of your Brightspace institution.
- You are provided with a Manager account with high privileges to administer the authoring platform, although it is unnecessary for regular operation.
- Go to the platform URL: https://quizzeslti.wiris.net/example.com/, replacing example.com with the domain of your D"L/Brightspace institution.
- Contact WIRIS support to get the credential.
- Change the password to a secure and private one.
- Click Manager User in the top-right corner and select Profile,
- Click the Edit profile link and set up the new email.
Teacher: Authoring
If you are reading this probably, you want to create or manage quizzes with math and science features in a course hosted in a Brightspace platform. All you need to create content using WirisQuizzes is a Brightspace account with a teacher role in a Brightspace course.
We strongly recommend you to read the Getting Started documentation of WirisQuizzes carefully to see an outline of what the tool has to offer and a detailed description of how to use it.
