Integrate Wayground with Moodle via LTI as an Administrator

For Administrators

With Wayground integrated into Moodle through LTI, students can engage with Wayground resources directly within Moodle, reducing distractions from switching platforms. Teachers can easily assign resources and track progress — all without leaving the Moodle platform.

This article will demonstrate how you can set up this integration as an Administrator. Two major steps need to be completed during the setup:

• Getting the integration links from Wayground
• Completing the integration on Moodle

Note:

• This feature is available for users with Wayground Schools & Districts Plans.
• If you’ve previously set up the integration:
  • Installations done earlier may still show 'Quizizz LTI' as the tool name in Moodle. Make sure you delete the existing Quizizz LTI app from Moodle and install the 'Wayground LTI' app. This will update the tool name to 'Wayground LTI' and ensure a consistent experience.

Important

• Only teachers rostered on Wayground as part of your Wayground Schools & District plans can use the Wayground–Moodle LTI integration. Teachers not rostered and attempting to link a Wayground resource to a Moodle course will receive a message prompting them to get rostered on their Wayground plan to access the Moodle integration.
• If you’ve previously set up the integration:
  • Installations done earlier may still show 'Quizizz LTI' as the tool name in Moodle. Make sure you delete the existing Quizizz LTI app from Moodle and install the 'Wayground LTI' app. This will update the tool name to 'Wayground LTI' and ensure a consistent experience.
