Moodle LMS Integration
Complete guide for integrating Qriib Virtual Classrooms with Moodle LMS via LTI 1.3 — covering admin setup, instructor workflows, Deep Linking, and developer API reference.
Moodle LMS Integration
Integrate Qriib Virtual Classrooms seamlessly into your Moodle Learning Management System using the LTI 1.3 Advantage protocol. This integration enables automatic student roster synchronization (NRPS), single sign-on (SSO), Deep Linking activity creation, and full lecture lifecycle control — all directly inside Moodle.
Key Capabilities

|---|---|
| SSO via LTI 1.3 | Students and instructors launch Qriib without a separate login |
| NRPS Roster Sync | Course members pulled automatically from Moodle (Enables strict access control) |
| AGS Auto-Grading | Automatically syncs student attendance grades to the Moodle Gradebook when the meeting ends |
| Deep Linking | Instructors embed a Virtual Classroom activity in any Moodle course section |
| Recording Management | Instructors control when recordings are visible to students |
| Session History | Past session logs are accessible inside the workspace |
| Key Rotation | Signing keys can be rotated without re-registering the integration |

- Click Participants in the course menu and click Enrol users.
- Select users, set Assign role to Teacher (or Student), and click Enrol users.
