Add Media to Your Moodle Course

Add TechSmith Knowmia Media to a Moodle Course

When the Moodle Administrator completes the TechSmith Knowmia LTI integration, the option to add content from your Knowmia library course is now within Moodle.

Choose The Moodle Course Synced Up to Knowmia Integration

1. Log into Moodle.
2. Choose the course to add Knowmia media to. 
3. If editing is not already turned on, click Turn editing on to make editing options available.
   
   
   
4. Click Add an activity or resource.
   
   
   
5. Choose Activities list > External tool > Add.
   
   
   
6. Enter a new Activity name.
7. Choose External tool type > Knowmia.

Note: The Knowmia name is determined by the Moodle administrator. Contact your administrator to find out your Knowmia name.

8. To enter Knowmia quiz results into the Moodle gradebook, set those options in the Grade section, including setting the number of points possible.
   
   

Note: Once a student completes a quiz, allow up to one hour for quiz scores to be synchronized between Knowmia and the Moodle gradebook.

9. Click Save and display to continue.
   
   
   
10. Your Knowmia library will open, displaying all available media.

*If a course containing Knowmia videos added via the External Tool option is copied, the Knowmia media in the fresh copy of the course will need to be re-linked. To re-link media, simply open the Activity and re-select the desired video or folder (in other words, repeat Step 8 shown above).

Knowmia Quiz Report Details

A single piece of Knowmia content can report a quiz score in two different ways:

1. If the Knowmia media content contains a quiz with questions, the quiz results can be sent back to the Moodle gradebook. Points are awarded based on the percentage of correct answers.
2. If the Knowmia media content has no quiz questions, enable this option to have points assigned to it according to the percentage of the video watched.

Example: A student watches 80% of the Knowmia video. Knowmia reports a score of 8/10 to the Moodle gradebook.

Tips

• If an entire folder of media is selected, no quiz score is reported.
• Knowmia reported scores can be manually overwritten in the Moodle gradebook.
• Once a student completes a quiz, allow up to one hour for quiz scores to be synchronized between Knowmia and the Moodle gradebook. Any score automatically reported by Knowmia can later be manually overwritten in the course gradebook.

Any score automatically reported by Knowmia can later be manually overwritten in the course gradebook.
