How does Edform work with Moodle?

Edform connects to Moodle with LTI 1.3, the standard Moodle uses for external tools. Your Moodle administrator adds Edform once by pasting one registration URL. After that, you add Edform activities to your courses with Add an activity or resource → External tool → Select content: a picker with your Edform library opens inside Moodle, you pick an activity, and Moodle places it in the course with a gradebook column. Students click it and land in Edform, signed in. Edform grades their answers and sends each student's best score to the Moodle gradebook. No Moodle plugin to install: Edform uses Moodle's built-in External tool activity.

One click for students

Moodle signs students in to Edform: no codes, no new passwords. The first time, Edform creates their account and puts them in the course's class. Edform also reads the course's student list, so the class is complete before anyone opens a link.

  • Single sign-on from Moodle
  • Class matches the course
  • No join codes
