      Prerequisites

      You will need two moodle sites. One must be a Moodle 3.2 site (SITE A). The other can be 3.1 or above (SITE B)

      Test
      1. On SITE A, enable LTI enrolment and authentication
      2. Go to Site administration ► Security ► HTTP security and tick "Allow frame embedding" and save the changes.
      3. Create or find a course with many enrolled users
      4. In course admin click "Published as LTI tools"
      5. Publish the course or an activity
      6. Copy the proxy URL
      7. On SITE B, go to Site administration ▶︎ Plugins ▶︎ Activity modules ▶︎ External tool ▶︎ Manage tools
      8. Paste the proxy URL
      9. Add the proxy
      10. Edit the tool settings.
      11. Go to a course (still on site B)
      12. Add an external tool
      13. Login as a teacher enrolled to the course.
      14. Select the external tool type that was just added
        • Confirm that the page includes the navigation and admin blocks for the teacher.
      15. Login as a student enrolled to the course
      16. Select the external tool type that was just added
        • If the published tool is an activity, confirm that the page does not include the navigation nor the admin blocks.
        • If the published tool is a course, the page would still display the navigation blocks, but clicking on an activity will only display the activity only without the blocks.
      17. Login as an admin and go back to Site administration ▶︎ Plugins ▶︎ Activity modules ▶︎ External tool ▶︎ Manage tools
      18. Edit the tool type by clicking on the gear icon.
      19. Under Custom parameters, enter

        force_embed=1
        

      20. Save the changes.
      21. Login as a teacher enrolled to the course.
      22. Select the external tool type that was just added
        • Confirm that the page does not include the navigation nor the admin blocks.
      23. Login as a student enrolled to the course
      24. Select the external tool type that was just added
        • Confirm that the page does not include the navigation nor the admin blocks.

      Try entering various values for force_embed and launch the external tool as a teacher for each of the setting:

      There is currently some custom logic for forcing the "embedded layout" when the role consuming the activity/course is mapped to a student. It was assumed that for teachers, not providing them will access to the settings block would limit the functionality of the activity. Sometimes it would be desirable to be able to force this embedded layout regardless. - maybe via a URL parameter.
