I update my Moodle to version 2.2 and I realized that LTI is not supported.

Nevertheless, my idea is to allow teachers to config bLTI links to an web application for authoring and solving purposes. Two questions arise:

1) Security: where can I find documentation for OAUth in order to implement a security mechanism to allow only the teachers to access the authoring features of the webapp?

2) Context variables: can i pass other variables such as gender and students' city in the POST data?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards

Other folks can answer the technical questions, but I wanted to let you know that our understanding is that LTI will be in the trunk of Moodle in a couple of months if all goes well - it's being worked on.

rqueiros - There is a lot of Basic LTI documentation here:

http://www.imsglobal.org/developers/BLTI/

There is a Moodle module for both 1.9 and 2.0 available here that you can use until Moodle puts Basic LTI into trunk.

I am using Basic LTI tool consumer in Moodle2.x & found that everytime i want to expose a resource from a LTI Tool producer I need to add it in Basic LTI administration panel with a shared key pair. This resource can then be
utilised from within the interface of Moodle in an embedded iframe. When I started using LTI I was of the idea that we register repositories and then use assets / resources from these repositories in our LTI tool consumer.


My question is, is there a way to make only one repository per producer and still identify all of the resources in that repository with different contexts in different areas / courses?
