Where is the article for LMS admins to use to set up the Soomo app in Moodle?

To get started linking your course in Moodle to the Soomo webtext, follow the steps below. If you have any questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to contact our LMS specialist at lms@soomolearning.com.

Connect your webtext to the course

From your course page, click the Edit button in the top right, and then click the + icon to add an activity or resource to one of your topics.

In the search bar, enter “Soomo Webtext 1.3” and select the tool.

Label the tool “Soomo Webtext” and click the “Select content” button.

After choosing your course, click the “Save and return to course” button.

You’ll now see the deep links to the webtext populate in the Topics section of your Moodle course shell. Both you and your students will be able to access the webtext via these deep links.

Move the webtext chapter links into the Topics

For most schools, you can now move the deep links between topics if you’d like to have the week’s webtext link in the associated Topic. To do this, click on the item you’d like to move, then simply drag and drop the webtext chapter link to the topic where it will be used.

Pro tip: Moving the generated deep links around will not break webtext access. In fact, it will help students more easily find the webtext while they are working through the week’s topics!

That’s it! Happy linking!
