To get started linking the webtext to your course in Moodle, 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 the webtext to a copied course

If you copy or import course content that includes webtext chapter links, your new course will automatically be linked. Click any webtext link in your new course to see what’s new, add notes, or manage due dates.

Note: If you are not using the same webtext title this term, you will need to delete the webtext links that were copied and use the linking instructions below for a new course shell.

Connect the webtext to a new 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.

If you don’t see the Soomo tool here you can reach out to your LMS admin to have them install the integration with these instructions.

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.
