LTI Support

[mrjarbenne]

Currently Github Classroom supports an LTI integration with various LMSs. Will Classroom50 provide similar synchronicity?

You'll be able to export scores from Classroom 50 (and you'll also have direct access to the score data via a GitHub repository if you want to set up automations with it), but we're not planning any LTI / grade passback integrations for the initial release. We know it's something that's of interest though, and we're exploring options there!

Hi @brianyu28, I was going to ask this same question about LTI integration. The main functionality I'm interested in is importing the student roster from Canvas LMS. Would that be considered? Would you accept third-party contributions for that?

[brianyu28]

Definitely open to external contributions to Classroom 50 — one of the goals of it being open-source is that interested teachers can help contribute to its functionality!

We connect Classroom50 to moodle using our own plugin: https://github.com/BZZ-Commons/moodle-mod-externalassignment

Our custom autograder includes linting as well: https://github.com/BZZ-Commons/pygrader50

You can find the github-action to upload results to moodle here: https://github.com/BZZ-Commons/pygrader50/blob/main/classroom50/moodle-sync.yaml

Thank you @graphics80. Do you know if that works for Canvas LMS as well? Or just Moodle? Thank you

we wrote a plugin for moodle, if canvas can receive updates on assignments via POST request, you could write an action for it.
