The Moodle plugin provides a rich integration between your product and your Moodle courses.  Users of Moodle will now be able to embed product resources directly inside their courses, without having to leave the LMS.  This new plugin is LTI based and integrated directly into the standard Moodle Media button found wherever the HTML editor is withing Moodle.

Using the File Picker Plugin

From the course homepage, or anywhere that allows for the addition of an activity or resource, click on the Add an Activity or Resource, while in editing mode.  Select the type of activity or resource you would like to add, for example, an Assignment, or a Page.

From the Insert media pop up LINK TAB, click on the Browse repositories button to view the File Picker interface.  Please note that attempting to use this from the video tab will not work.
