Moodle is one of the most widely deployed open-source learning management systems in the world, used at thousands of universities, colleges, and schools. IntelliPlan connects to any Moodle instance using your site’s URL and a personal web-services token — a credential Moodle generates for your account that grants read access to course data. Unlike Blackboard, no institutional administrator needs to pre-approve IntelliPlan: as long as your Moodle administrator has web services enabled on the site (most do), you can generate a token and connect immediately.

​
What Gets Imported

When Moodle is connected, IntelliPlan imports:
  • Assignments — title, due date, course name, and maximum grade from all enrolled courses
  • Calendar events — course-level events visible in the Moodle calendar, including assignment deadlines published as events
  • Course names — used for grouping in the Classes View and as AI scheduler context

​
Environment Variable

Moodle integration is enabled by default. A single environment variable controls whether the option appears in the IntelliPlan UI:
.env
# Moodle web services — enabled by default
MOODLE_ENABLED=1
VariableDefaultDescription
MOODLE_ENABLED1Set to 0 to hide the Moodle connection option in the UI while an institution is not yet ready to issue web-service tokens

​
Getting a Moodle Web-Services Token

1

Log in to your Moodle instance

Navigate to your institution’s Moodle site (e.g. https://moodle.university.edu) and sign in with your student account.
2

Open your profile security settings

Click your name or avatar in the top-right corner, then go to Preferences → Security keys. The exact menu path may vary depending on your institution’s Moodle theme.
3

Generate or copy a security key

Moodle lists your existing web-service tokens on this page. If no token exists for the Moodle mobile web service, click Create token or Reset token.Copy the token string — it looks like a 32-character hexadecimal string.
4

Enter credentials in IntelliPlan

Go to Settings → Integrations → Moodle and enter:
  • Site URL: your institution’s Moodle base URL (e.g. https://moodle.university.edu)
  • Web-services token: the token copied above
5

Confirm the connection

IntelliPlan will call the Moodle web-services API to verify the token and fetch your enrolled courses. If successful, assignments are imported immediately.
If you do not see Security keys or Preferences in your Moodle account, ask your institution’s Moodle administrator to enable the Moodle mobile web service and confirm that your account has permission to use web services. Most student accounts have this enabled by default at institutions that use Moodle for mobile apps.

​
Connecting via the API

Moodle manual connections are handled through a dedicated endpoint: 
POST /api/lms/connect/moodle/manual
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "site_url": "https://moodle.university.edu",
  "token": "your32charactertoken"
}
You can also use the higher-level LMS connect flow, which returns metadata about what the manual connection requires before starting it: 
POST /api/lms/connect/moodle

​
Connection Management

GET  /api/lms/status/moodle
POST /api/lms/moodle/sync
POST /api/lms/disconnect/moodle
A manual sync triggers a fresh fetch of all assignments and events from the Moodle web-services API. Unlike OAuth-based integrations, there is no token refresh — Moodle web-services tokens do not expire by default. If you reset your token in Moodle’s Security Keys page, update it in IntelliPlan Settings.

​
Moodle Web-Services API

IntelliPlan calls Moodle’s standard REST web-services layer. The base URL for all calls is: 
https://<your_moodle_site>/webservice/rest/server.php
Authentication uses the token as a query parameter (wstoken=<token>) and requests are formatted as REST calls (moodlewsrestformat=json). The functions called include:
  • core_enrol_get_users_courses — retrieve enrolled courses
  • mod_assign_get_assignments — fetch assignments for each course
  • core_calendar_get_calendar_events — fetch upcoming calendar events

​
Troubleshooting

The token must be copied exactly — it is case-sensitive and contains no spaces. Return to Moodle’s Preferences → Security keys page and verify the token matches what you entered. If the token was recently reset, enter the new one in IntelliPlan Settings.
Check that MOODLE_ENABLED is set to 1 (or is absent entirely, since 1 is the default). If you are running a local IntelliPlan instance, confirm the .env file has not overridden it to 0.
Ask your institution’s Moodle administrator to verify that the Moodle mobile web service is enabled at Site administration → Plugins → Web services → Manage services, and that your account role has the webservice/rest:use capability. Students at institutions using the Moodle app should already have this enabled.
Not all Moodle configurations publish assignment deadlines as calendar events. If a teacher has not enabled calendar publication for an assignment, it will still appear as a standard assignment in IntelliPlan but not in the events feed. This is a teacher-side Moodle setting and cannot be changed from IntelliPlan.
