This article shows you how to install EXAMIND using LTI in Moodle.

It should take no more than 15 minutes of work to get EXAMIND LTI set up, but the total elapsed time may span a couple of days due to a couple of back and forth communication that are required.

To minimize this time, please complete Step 1 (Send Moodle Instance URL to and Email Addresses to EXAMIND) below. Although not required, it would also streamline the process to have an EXAMIND support staff on standby when you launch LTI Connect for the very first time.

Step 1: Send info to EXAMIND

In order for EXAMIND's iframe to load within your Moodle instance, EXAMIND must white-list your Moodle domain by adding it to its content-security-policy HTTP header. Please send us your production and test Moodle Instance URLs (examples: https://moodle.hillman.edu and https://hillmanedu.test.moodle.com).

Information can be emailed to support@examind.io.


Step 2: Add External Tool

From the Moodle Site administration / Plugins page, click the External Tool / Manage tools link:

In the Tool URL..., enter the following:

  • For US data center users: https://lti.examind.io/register

  • For Canadian data center users: https://lti-ca.examind.io/register

Click Add LTI Advantage

You will see a new tool with the name EXAMIND appear in your list. Click Activate:


Step 3: Configure LTI Tool

Click the gear icon next to the EXAMIND tool:

Set the Default launch container to New Window, otherwise your students may encounter a 3rd party cookie error:

In Privacy, ensure Share launcher's name with tool, Share launcher's email with tool, and Accept grades from the tool are all Always.

Click Save changes:
