Moodle: Activities & Resources: External Tools: Macmillan LTI Tools and Macmillan Content

This Moodle integration allows Macmillan content to be delivered directly through Moodle and will allow the grades to be synced in your Moodle grade book as well.

Important: It is important to follow the steps below to successfully deep link your course. There are two Macmillan tools available through the external tool activity type in Moodle: Macmillan LTI Tools and Macmillan Content. Both must be added to your course in order for deep linking to work.

• Step 1: Add Macmillan LTI Tools
• Step 2: Link Your Courses
• Step 3: Add Macmillan Content to Your Moodle Course

For grade sync - this must be completed for all assigned Macmillan content prior to student engagement in the Macmillan course.
 

A note about support: Because the external tool activity links your Moodle course to an external website, troubleshooting most issues encountered in this tool should be done through Macmillan customer support or the specific Macmillan customer representative who helped set up the course. The LSU Faculty Technology Center can assist with any Moodle issues and can work with the tool's support team on Moodle-related gradebook sync concerns.
