Django-lti-tool transforms your Django installation into a LTI 1.3 tool provider.

It is tightly integrated into Django and maps LTI entities (platforms, contexts, resources, users) into Django's ORM. This decouples the platform (e.g. Moodle) and the tool. Students are able to work on their assignments independently from the platform. Grades can be transferred to the platform afterwards.

After setting up Django, install django-lti-tool using pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/christophse/django-lti-tool.git

Prepare your settings.py:

1. Add lti_tool to INSTALLED_APPS.
2. Add lti_tool.middleware.LTIMiddleware to MIDDLEWARE prior to CsrfViewMiddleware.
3. Add lti_tool.auth.LTIBackend to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS.

Initialize the ORM:

python manage.py makemigrations lti_tool && python manage.py migrate

Django-lti-tool was initially developed at Open Distributed Systems Chair.
