LTI Provider
Note: There is no need to install this plugin in Moodle 3.1 onwards, since LTI-provider functionality is included as standard. Please see the documentation Publish as LTI tool for details.
About this plugin
This is a local plugin for making Moodle a LTI provider tool.
It can be use to provide access to full courses or activities from remote systems (other Moodle installations, Sakai, any LMS LTI consumer compliant)
Please note that since Moodle 2.2 there is a core activity plugin called "External tool" that is a LTI consumer.
Why this plugin
This plugin allow remote systems users (LTI consumers) access to Moodle courses or Moodle activities inside a course.
Moodle (version 2.2 and onwards) is a LTI consumer tool also.
You can use this plugin to share activities and courses between Moodle installations without configuring a Moodle network.
You can also share activities and courses with other LTI consumer tools like Sakai

Though you are right that in Moodle 31 there is the option to publish as LTI tool, there are at least 2 reasons to keep using the local_ltiprovider:
1) existing users can't change the LTI url so easy, or you have a lot of LTI tools already active and can't change these on short notice to the new URL
2) In Moodle's own publish as LTI tool, you cannot add extra CSS, which is a really big plus for me to use the local_lti_provider.....
I however, keep getting the message "you cannot enrol yourself in this course" when I use a link from the local_ltiprovider....
I am using the LTI Provider in Moodle2.9 to integrate with Canvas LMS. Successfull authentication is happening and users are able to take quiz activity in Moodle.
But grades are not passing back to Canvas, I am getting "Error while processing content unencoding: invalid block" when cron is executed.
Please help me out in finding the cause of the issue.
Thank You..
I am using Moodle 3.0.3 version. I have installed this plugin, as per the context here "https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/LTI_Provider", i have followed the instructions. A new link called "LTI Provider" is shown in the course navigation block. But when I clicked on it, it is showing 500 internal error page.
Please help me on moving forward.
Thanks

We are using Moodle 3.1 and would like to make an old course (with students and grades) be accessed via LTI.
Will the old course data will be available through the LTI to the new importing LMS (Blackboard)?
Anyone here can help me???
