external tool does't support LTI

Hello Moodle-Users,


how can I make a connection between Moodle and an external tool, if the external tool does not support LTI? In my case the external tool would be Jenkins or DOORS or PTC.


What I want to realize is following scenario:

A Moodle participant has chosen the course about Jenkins and is reading the introduction slides in moodle and watching some exercises. Now he has to do a task in Jenkins, the external tool.


Problem is: how does moodle know that the task in the external tool is done?

I would like to have a tick mark in moodle if the task is done.


Is that possible? If yes, how?? Through Plugins? Web Services?


I'm thankfull for every help.


Greetings

This could be done using web services, yes, but you will need to modify Jenkins to call the web service (perhaps they allow plugins?). This will require development work.

External tool is only designed to work with LTI.

A simpler solution would be to have a URL resource linking to Jenkins with "Students can manually mark the activity as completed" selected.
