Add Padlet to Moodle LMS using LTI 1.3
There are a few different ways to embed a padlet in an LMS. This article will describe how to connect Padlet to Moodle using LTI 1.3.
LMS integration for Moodle (for Admins only)
Before we can enable adding a padlet to Courses, you'll have to set up the Padlet Tool on the Moodle admin account.
You will need:
- Administrator access on Moodle (ideally the same email as the Padlet for Schools owner)

- Retrieve Custom Link
Using the Owner account on Padlet for Schools, access the Settings page by clicking your account name in the top-right corner > Settings > Organization Info > scroll down to find the 'LTI Advantage Dynamic Registration Link' and select Generate > Copy.
