Every teacher wants to see their students improve, but how is that progress measured? While exams may allow us to see whether students have acquired the necessary knowledge at the end of the school year, they do not enable us to view their progress throughout the year. Since long-term learning relies on linking new information to pre-existing knowledge, it is important for teachers to be able to visualise the learners’ evolution.

In late 2018, we announced our Moodle plug-in, Wooclap’s first LMS (Learning Management System) integration. Today, Wooclap can integrate many other LMS thanks to the LTI standard. What is the LTI standard? The IMS Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard prescribes a way to easily connect learning applications and tools with platforms like learning management systems in a secure and standard manner. OK, but why? Integrating Wooclap into your LMS will synchronise data between the two platforms, including the polls you have created and the students’ grades.

Some of you might remember Wooclap announced a first, small-scale integration with Moodle back in March, which allowed users to import and export files across both platforms. While this is convenient, we saw more potential in that venture. That is why, over the summer, our team developed the Moodle integration more in-depth to grant users of both platforms a more comfortable experience. Through Moodle, users will have access to a “Wooclap activity”, to create Wooclap content while on their Moodle account.
