With LTI Advantage (LTI 1.3) you can use Dynamic Registration to connect GMetrix to Moodle.


Once connected, you can add GMetrix Courses and Practice Exams to Moodle courses. You'll be able to see scores and progress, and learners will be able to access assigned Courses and Practice Exams directly within Moodle.

If you are using a self-hosted, district, multi-site, or nonstandard Moodle implementation, contact GMetrix Support before proceeding.
