Integrate Explain Everything with Moodle LMS

If you're a Moodle Admin, you can integrate Explain Everything and Moodle LMS. This way, your organization will have instant access to features that come with the integration — the ability to create “Project Activity”, “Watch a Video”, and “Record a Video” assignments.

Note: Only Admins and Managers of Explain Everything Group Accounts can enable LMS integrations in accounts and courses. A paid Explain Everything account is necessary to be able to use Explain Everything LMS integration features.

Note: The integration is available only to Moodle's web version users.

Add Explain Everything to Moodle LMS

As an Admin, you can add the Explain Everything integration to all existing and newly created Courses in your account. This way, Teachers and Students will have access to features that come with the integration.

Before you start

• Have your Integration Keys handy for copy-pasting as you'll need them during the process.
