Tip

CodeGrade has a Help Center, with better guides, more videos and updated documentation. The documentation and guides on this website are deprecated and will not be updated in the future. Please click here to go to this page on the Help Center!

Note

The guide below assumes CodeGrade has been successfully integrated into your Open edX environment as external LTI app.

Creating a new CodeGrade assignment from within Open edX will correctly add this assignment to the corresponding course in CodeGrade, a new course will automatically be created in CodeGrade if it does not yet exist in CodeGrade. Follow the steps below to create a new CodeGrade assignment in Open edX:

  1. Edit the unit in which you want to add CodeGrade and select Advanced from the Add New Component section. Select LTI Consumer.

  2. Select Edit in the component that appears. This should open a modal in which you can set up the CodeGrade assignment.

  3. Set the Display Name to the name of the assignment.

  4. The value for LTI ID depends on the configuration that your administrator set, however this will probably be codegrade.

  5. The LTI URL is https://app.codegra.de/api/v1/lti/launch/1, however for instances with a custom URL this will be different. Please contact us at support@codegrade.com.

  6. Now scroll all the way to the bottom and make sure the following options are all set to True:

    • Scored, this option allows to passback a grade for the assignment

    • Request user’s email

    • Request user’s full name

    • Request user’s username

  7. Click the save button.

Note

Grades are automatically sent back to Open edX after setting the assignment state to () Done in CodeGrade. While the assignment is in the () Done state, all grades and changes to grades are immediately sent back to Open edX.

Note

Students can hand in and review their feedback from within the CodeGrade container in Open edX.
