Hi Dizzyx Dizayx,

Well, it might be "safer" but it will also be a lot more dumber ;-)

For instance by doing it via Basic LTI you get:

* Single-sign-on
* Loosely roles mappings

But you won't get:

* Gradebook integration
* LAMS lessons to be single Moodle activities within the
* Authoring/Monitoring access
* Progress tracking
* Conditioning release
* and more

And this is because Basic LTI is cool for content like artifacts, but not so much for activity based stuff.

LTI is good for content syndicates/publishers that need to grant access to their content (as service).

Therefore trying to integrate ti via LTI would give you a lot less.

Thanks,

Ernie

Hello Ernie,

thanks again! :) Today I found time and I install a LAMS v2.4 and a vanilla Moodle Core v2.4 and agreed that the plugin way via the /mod is the way to go especially in this part you'd mentioned:

* LAMS lessons to be single Moodle activities within the
* Authoring/Monitoring access
* Progress tracking
* Conditioning release
* and more

The question regarding LTI arise because the SaaS Moodle I working with need 3rd-party plugins to be Code Reviewed at a Cost.

I'd asked abt this LTI because I saw Smart Sparrow allows integration to Moodle via LTI but its just LTI SSO for access and not as robust as LAMS2 plugin which goes into adding as an Activity.

Are there any interest before for LAMS to send plugins for Code Reviewed to SaaS vendor? I am just looking for
solutions and shortcuts as the plugin method is a no-no currently without the code review cost.

After today, have to forgo the idea of LTI as that doesn't meet the requirement to track LAMS lesson completion and grade in Moodle Activity.

Thanks so much and I learn a lot about the LAMS architecture and plugin capability through you. :)
