Configuration

Proctor Exam xblock relies on Configurable LTI Consumer which should also be installed in Python environment, therefore it also use its Django settings for configuration, see Configurable LTI Consumer documentation.

A typical Proctor Exam LTI configuration should look like this:

LTI_XBLOCK_CONFIGURATIONS = [
    {
        "shared_secret": "TestSharedSecret",
        "oauth_consumer_key": "TestOauthConsumerKey",
        "display_name": "",  # this is required to let xblock register itself in studio
        "is_launch_url_regex": False,
        "automatic_resizing": None,
        "inline_ratio": None,
        "ignore_configuration": True,
        "show_button": False,
        "pattern": ".*fun\.proctorexam\.com/lti\?id=(?P<exam_id>[0-9]+)",
        "hidden_fields": [
            "display_name",
            "description",
            "lti_id",
            "launch_target",
            "inline_height",
            "accept_grades_past_due",
            "ask_to_send_username",
            "ask_to_send_email",
            "custom_parameters",
            "has_score",
            "hide_launch",
            "modal_height",
            "modal_width",
            "weight",
            "button_text"
        ],
        "defaults": {
            "launch_target": "new_window",
            "lti_id": "proctor_exam",
        },
    }]

configurable-lti-provide also allows to set LTI OAuth credentials in LTI_XBLOCK_CONFIGURATION, or in an other constant LTI_XBLOCK_SECRETS which then can be stored in encrypted vault.

LTI_XBLOCK_SECRETS = {
    "proctor_exam": {
        "shared_secret": "TestSharedSecret",
        "oauth_consumer_key": "TestOauthConsumerKey",
    }
}

Or they can be set at course level in advanced settings

Add finally, proctor_exam to the list of advanced modules in the "advanced settings" of a course.

Please note that the workbench included in the present repository is running a standard configuration with fake credentials. (see config/settings.yml.dist)
