Send activity grades from Möbius to your LMS class
Möbius supports LTI 1.3 integration with a compatible Learning Management System (LMS).
When creating LTI links to Möbius, it's possible to push grades from a Möbius activity to the gradebook or grade center in your LMS.
The requirements and troubleshooting steps for grade pushing from Möbius to the LMS are outlined below.
Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)® establishes a connection between a learning application (Example - Möbius) that's provided through a third-party service and is often remotely hosted by a Learning Management System (LMS) (or Course Management System (CMS)). The learning application is referred to as the tool and the LMS (or CMS) is referred to as the platform.
Requirements for grade pushing to your LMS
Möbius can send grades for either an assignment or lesson to your LMS, but Möbius assignments are recommended for assessment tasks.
When setting up the LTI integration with your LMS, the requirements for grade pushing to your LMS are:
In the initial LTI 1.3 Tool setup, the LMS settings for Accepting grades from this Tool must be enabled.
For each Möbius activity that requires grades to be sent to the LMS, a separate LTI link must be created and the Grade options for that link must be set in the LMS.
The LTI link created must be an Activity mapping link pointing to the lesson or assignment in Möbius (check out Setup an Activity mapping link).
The assignment must be gradable in Möbius (check out Discover the available assignment types).
Once this link is set up, a students' grade for an assignment is immediately sent to the Learning Management System when the following conditions are met:
The user who attempted the assignment must be a student in the LMS class.
The student must have clicked on the link in the LMS to access the assignment.
The student's attempt at the assignment must be submitted, either by the student clicking Submit Assignment or force-grading by an instructor (check out Force grade an activity).
All questions in the student's attempt must be fully graded (Example — there are no Essay components that require an instructor to Perform manual grading).
If a grade fails to be sent due to a temporary issue with the Möbius grade pushing service or with the connection to your LMS, Möbius will retry for up to 8 hours to send the grade again.
Setup an Activity mapping link
Activity mapping allows you to create an LTI link that takes a user directly into a Möbius assignment or lesson.
Students must launch the activity from an Activity mapping link in order for their grades to be sent to the LMS.
To map to an activity, check out the Activity mapping help topic or follow these instructions:
Select the class that contains the activity you want to link to from the drop-down list of your available classes.
Select the activity from the drop-down list of available activities in the selected class.
Click Link to Assignment.
The link is now configured to navigate the user to the activity.
Grades for multiple attempts
Möbius allows for students to make multiple attempts at an assignment, depending on the assignment policies set by instructors; however your LMS will typically store only one grade for the LTI assignment.
When a student makes multiple attempts at an assignment, either the Best, Average or Most Recent grade will be pushed to the LMS.
This is controlled by the Grade Export Type system setting in Möbius — check out LTI Settings pane for more details on how to find this setting.
