LMS integration
Why should I integrate Accepi into my learning management system (LMS)?
Integrating Accepi with your LMS allows students to access Accepi directly from the LMS, without having to log into the Accepi website every single time (single sign-on). In addition, it makes it easier for you to transfer the Accepi scores into the gradebook of your LMS.
How can Accepi work with my LMS?
Accepi fully supports the LTI 1.1 and LTI 1.3 standards, which are supported by all common learning management systems.
| LTI 1.1 (deprecated) | LTI 1.3 (recommended) | |
|---|---|---|
| Single sign-on | Yes | Yes |
| Grade upload | On click | Automatic |
| Links to assignment | One link to all assignments | Separate link for each assignment |
| Gradebook items | Only one for overall Accepi score | One for each assignment |
LTI 1.1 (deprecated)
The LTI 1.1 standard supports single sign-on and one-click grade upload to the LMS gradebook. However, you won't be able to have separate gradebook entries for each Accepi assignment. You should add Accepi as a graded item to the LMS only once and call it, say, homework or Accepi. You can then add this item to all modules, as long as you are aware that all modules will show the same deadline and there will only be one gradebook item for Accepi, which will show each student's total Accepi score, not their assignment score.
One-click score transfer only works if Accepi was added to your LMS as an item with a corresponding gradebook entry, and if you access Accepi through the LMS. In that case, you can navigate to the course results page (click on "See results" on the course page) and click on the button "Upload to LMS". Please note that an individual student's score gets uploaded to the LMS whenever the student visits the course results page, but you should update all scores by clicking on "Upload to LMS" before determining the final grades for the course.
The total Accepi score gets updated in the LMS grade book if one of two things happens:
- The student clicks on the "See results" button on the Accepi course page within the LMS.
- The instructor accesses Accepi through the LMS and clicks on the "Upload to LMS" button on the course results page.
LTI 1.3 (recommended)
The LTI 1.3 standard supports single sign-on and automatic grade upload to the LMS gradebook. You can have specific links to each assignment.
The assignment score gets updated in the LMS grade book if it has changed in Accepi since the last syncing and one of three things happens:
- The student clicks on the "Submit assignment" button under the last problem in the assignment.
- The student visits the Accepi assignment page within the LMS.
- The instructor clicks on the "Sync now" link on the Accepi integration page within the LMS.
