Prerequisites Create two Moodle sites running on localhost - one designated 'platform', one 'tool'. In both sites, go to admin settings and clear all values from the 'curlsecurityblockedhosts' admin setting and save. In the platform site, create a course called "Platform course 1", with: 2 Students: s1 and s2 2 Teachers: t1 and t2 In the tool site, create a course called "Tool course 1", with: An assignment called "Assign 1" with a max grade of 80.

In the tool site admin settings: Enable enrol_lti and auth_lti plugins Enable "Allow frame embedding Register the tool and platform Note: This is a shortened process of setting up the Moodle LTI Advantage Tool.

Publish activities and set up platform resource links Log in to the tool site as t1 Click "Published as LTI Tools" in course setting Click "Add new" Publish the "Assign 1" resource, using all default settings (this ensures membersync is enabled) Repeat the process and publish the "Assign 2" resource Repeat the process and publish the "Tool Course 1" resource Repeat the process and publish the file resource Now log out of the tool. In the platform, log in as teacher t1 Go to "Platform course 1" Click to add an activity/resource Select "Moodle LTI Advantage Tool" Click "Select content" Verify you're asked to link your tool account.

Repeat the process for the file resource, this time noting that you will not see "Add to gradebook" when viewing the resource in deep linking. Verify the four activities are created. Now, log out of the platform. Launch the activities and perform grading Log in to the platform as student s1 Go to course "Platform course 1" Launch the lti resource "Assign 1" Submit to the assignment Launch the lti resource "Assign 2" Submit to the assignment Launch the lti resource "Tool Course 1" Launch the lti file resource Log out of both the tool and the platform. Log in to the platform as student s2 Go to course "Platform course 1" Launch the lti resource "Tool Course 1" Launch the lti resource "Assign 2" Submit to the assignment Now, log in to the platform as the teacher t1 Go to "Platform course 1" Launch "Assign 1" Grade the user s1, scoring them 45/80 Launch "Assign 2" Grade the user s2, scoring them 60/100 Sync and confirm results Go to the gradebook page in the platform Verify there are no grades present yet. Now, run the grade sync task (in the tool) via cli: php admin/cli/scheduled_task.php --execute='\enrol_lti\local\ltiadvantage\task\sync_grades' Verify the task runs without any errors. Go back to the platform gradebook page and reload. Verify : You see a grade 45/80 for user s1 in "Assign 1" You see no grade for user s1 in "Assign 2" You see a grade of 25/100 for the user s1 in "Tool course 1" - this is because the user has scored 45/180 in that course in the tool. You see a grade of 60/100 for user s2 in "Assign 2" You see no grade for user s2 in "Assign 1" You see a grade of 33.33/100 for the user s1 in "Tool course 1" - this is because the user has scored 60/180 in that course in the tool. You don't see any errors relating to the file resource Testing completion-based grade sync Login to the tool as the t1 teacher user Create a new assignment in the test course called "Completion assign" Edit the assignment and under "Activity completion", set "Show activity as complete when conditions are met" Check the "Student must submit to this activity to complete it" Go to Course admin > Published as LTI tools and click "Add" Select "Completion assign" Set a custom instance name of "Published completion assign" Under "Remote system", set "Require course or activity completion prior to grade synchronisation" set to "Yes" Save Now, login to the platform site as the teacher Click to add a new resource/activity to the course Select "Moodle LTI Advantage Tool" Click "Select content" Login as teacher t1 Select all check boxes next to "Completion assignment" Click "Add content" Make sure "Share emails with the tool" and "share names with the tool" is selected.

Don't submit anything! Now, log out of both platform and tool sites Log in to the tool site as an t1 again Go to the "Completion assignment" and select "View all submissions" Grade the user s1 who just launched (but didn't submit). Set a grade of 80 or something that you'll remember. Now, log in to the platform as the user t1 and go to the gradebook in the course. Keep this open Now, in a terminal, run the task to sync grades: php admin/cli/scheduled_task.php --execute='\enrol_lti\local\ltiadvantage\task\sync_grades' In the platform, refresh the gradebook page Verify you don't see the grade 80 listed for the user Now, log out of the platform Log in to the platform as s1 student Again, launch "Completion assignment" Now, make a submission Log out of the platform Now, log in to the platform as the user t1 and go to the gradebook in the course. Keep this open Now, in a terminal, run the task to sync grades: php admin/cli/scheduled_task.php --execute='\enrol_lti\local\ltiadvantage\task\sync_grades' In the platform, refresh the gradebook page Verify you now do see the grade 80 listed for the user s1 Log out of both the tool and the platform sites.

Keep this open Now, in a terminal, run the task to sync grades: php admin/cli/scheduled_task.php --execute='\enrol_lti\local\ltiadvantage\task\sync_grades' Verify you still see the grade 80 (i.e. not the current grade of 90). This means the sync didn't run.
