Create Custom LTI with Third Party Provider with the External Tool Actvity in Moodle

Instructors may have occasion to bring content directly into your Moodle course from an outside content provider, often a publisher, i.e. Cengage, Pearson, Perusal, Wiley Plus, etc.  This requires a custom LTI using the External Tool activity in Moodle. Instructors can add the tool by following the steps below.

Steps to Add an External Tool with LTI

Example: Cengage
  1. Turn Editing On
  2.  Click on Add an Activity or Resource at the bottom of a section:
