WirisQuizzes installation and deployment

Where can WirisQuizzes be installed?

WirisQuizzes has a native deployment for Moodle, and the only requirement for this type of integration is the client must use Moodle as its main LMS platform. WirisQuizzes for Moodle provides new question types that enhance existing ones.

It's also possible to integrate WirisQuizzes via LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) on an LMS such as Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, Schoology, etc. For this type of integration, the client must use an LMS that is LTI 1.3 compatible as it will connect to a Moodle back-end on the servers of Wiris requiring parameters such as a shared secret, a consumer key and a launch URL.

Besides, WirisQuizzes can also be natively installed as a generic integration in the client tech environment. This type of integration offers a large degree of flexibility but some degree of work and maintenance from the clients' side.

How do I install WirisQuizzes?

For Moodle, your administrator can download and install the WirisQuizzes Moodle plugin. Similarly, if you are integrating WirisQuizzes via LTI on your LMS, the platform's administrator can download and install WirisQuizzes via LTI.
