This article describes how to add scored SoftChalk lesson links into your Moodle course. It is assumed that you have already created your SoftChalk lesson and saved it into your SoftChalk Cloud account.

  1. Log into your Moodle account and choose your course.

If necessary, at the top right, click Turn editing on.

2. Click Add an activity or resource.

3. Select External Tool on the left in the pop-up window and click Add

4. Type an Activity name (such as a name for your lesson).

5. For Preconfigured tool, select SoftChalk Cloud.

If you do not see the SoftChalk Link Selector tool, your Moodle administrator may not have enabled this feature. However, the administrator may have enabled the LTI/ScoreCenter feature within your LMS.

Please see the below FAQ if the SoftChalk Link Selector tool has not been configured.

The lesson LTI link is automatically inserted into the Tool URL field.
