LTI 1.3 is the current version of the LTI standard, and upgrading to 1.3 for your VidGrid connection has several benefits in Moodle:
eventually the old 1.1 LTI will be deprecated by the standards body, although there is no official date, it's good for future-proofing.
the 1.3 version of VidGrid has several new safeguards to help ensure a student's quiz submission is saved and not lost.
How do I know if we're using VidGrid LTI 1.1 or 1.3?
open Site Administration > Plugins > Activity Modules > External Tools > Manage Tools > Manage Preconfigured Tools
Compare to the below screenshots - if the VidGrid Quiz base URL is https://app.vidgrid.com/lti/quiz, that's the old 1.1 LTI. If instead you see https://app.vidgrid.com/lti/embed/13/quiz, that's the new 1.3 LTI.
This screenshot shows the 1.1 old version:
This is the new 1.3 version:
How to Upgrade from 1.1 to 1.3 Quiz
It's important to keep the old 1.1 Quiz plugin; if you remove it, and a course is still using the plugin for a quiz assignment, the content will stop working. We recommend renaming the 1.1 Quiz plugin "deprecated do not use" for a period of time, before fully deleting it. If you'd like, reach out to VidGrid support, we can easily see which instructors are using the old version to help migrate to the new version.
To add the new 1.3 Quiz plugin:
open Site Administration > Plugins > Activity Modules > External Tools > Manage Tools > Manage Preconfigured tools and click on "Add Preconfigured Tool"

Open a class, and choose "add activity or resource"
choose VidGrid Quiz 1.3 from the list of activities, and choose "Add"
Enter a title for the assignment, then click "Choose Content". A screen like below should appear. If you don't have any videos, use the camera icon in the top right corner to create one, or the "file" icon to upload a video.
After selecting a video, click "play" - to add quiz questions to the video, click the menu in the top right corner of the video player, then choose the "manage questions" tab, see here for more details. When you're done, click the gear icon in the lower right corner to continue.
enter the number of points the assignment is worth and re-enter the title, then click the checkmark.
That should be it - opening the assignment should play the video. You'll need to log in as a student to see the grade transfer to the gradebook - if you want it graded, make sure your video questions are multiple choice, with correct answers marked.
If you run into any issues feel free to reach out, cheers!
