Who can do this?

Installing the Kami external tool integration
If you are a Moodle Admin for your school or district, you can easily install the Kami integration using these simple steps.
1. Navigate to the Manage tools page
After logging in to Moodle, select Site administration from the top menu bar.
Select the Plugins tab, then scroll down in the Activity Modules list to find and select Manage tools (under External tool).
2. Enter the Kami Tool URL

To add the Kami tool, paste the following URL in the Tool URL field: https://web.kamihq.com/api/lti/oidc/register
Then select the Add LTI Advantage button.
⚙️ You also have the option to configure a tool manually. Selecting this will open the External tool configuration page, where you can enter the tool details individually. These fields will be automatically filled in if the tool is added via URL using the above-mentioned steps.
