Integrating Bubble.io with Moodle might be a bit complex and technical for users who do not have a background in coding or programming. If you are confident in your coding skills and know how to manipulate APIs, then this guide is for you. In order to integrate Bubble.io with Moodle, you need a Moodle key and a Bubble API Connector.
Step 1: Get a Moodle API Key
The first step is to generate a Moodle API key. This key will allow Bubble.io to interface with Moodle.
To do this, sign in to your Moodle account and navigate to the "Site Administration" section which is typically found on the left-hand side dashboard menu.
From here, go to "Plugins" and after that to "Web Services" and click on "Manage Tokens".
Select "Add" to generate a new token. You will have to select a user and a service for the token. The service should be the one you want to provide access to Bubble.io.
After these selections, click on "Save Changes". A new token will be generated.
Copy the token.
Step 2: Use the Bubble API Connector
Next, you need to make use of the Bubble.io's API Connector.
Sign in to your Bubble.io account.
Click on the "Data" tab and select "API".
Click on "Add another API". Here you will be creating a connection to Moodle.
Step 3: Set up the API Call
You will need to set up a GET or POST request to interface with the Moodle API.
In the API you created, click "+ Add another call".
Name your call and select "GET" or "POST" depending on what you need. For this guide, we will use a "GET" request.
In the "Use as Action" field, choose "Data (GET, POST, etc.)".
In the URL, put in the Moodle API endpoint you want to connect with. It would typically follow a format such as "https://your-moodle-site.com/webservice/rest/server". Replace "your-moodle-site" with your actual Moodle site URL.
Set the "Data Type" field to "JSON".
In the parameters field, add "moodlewsrestformat" and set it to "json".
Add the "wsfunction", put the Moodle API function you need to perform. E.g., "core_course_get_courses" if you want to get a list of all courses.
Add the "wstoken", and paste the token you have copied from Moodle.
Step 4: Initialize the Call
The final step is to initialize the call.
Click the "Initialize Call" button. If successful, you should get a response from the Moodle API.
Click on "Save Settings".
You should now be able to use this data call in the Bubble.io platform to fetch data from your Moodle site.
Remember, this is just a general guide. Depending on the data you want to pull or send via Moodle, the specific API calls, parameters, and access key requirements may differ. The Moodle API has extensive documentation available that should be consulted for specific applications.
Bubble.io also has its own help section and forums where you can ask specific questions if you run into roadblocks while setting up this integration. Keep in mind, working with APIs can be complex and may require some patience and troubleshooting to get everything operating correctly.
Scenario: An online education provider wants to streamline its course delivery process for a new line of instructive content. They are using Bubble.io to create custom course landing pages where students can sign up to enroll in their desired courses. To efficiently deliver the courses to their students and automatically manage their progress, the education provider wants to use Moodle, an open-source learning management system (LMS).
Solution: Integrating Bubble.io with Moodle
Course Landing Page Creation: The provider uses Bubble.io to design course landing pages that include a form for students to fill out their contact information and the course they intend to enroll in.
Setting Up the Integration: The provider installs a Moodle plugin in Bubble.io and configures it with their Moodle API key. They set up workflows in Bubble.io that trigger when a form is submitted on the landing page.
Data Sync Workflow: When a new student submits the form, the workflow is triggered. The submitted data (e.g., name, email, chosen course) is automatically sent to Moodle using the configured Moodle plugin action. A new student profile is created in Moodle with the submitted information, and the student is automatically enrolled in the chosen course in Moodle.
Course Delivery in Moodle: The instruction team within the education provider uses Moodle to deliver courses, manage student progress, and grade assignments. Students can conveniently access their courses, study materials, and assessments directly from Moodle.
Monitoring and Analytics: The integration allows for seamless tracking of student enrolments and progress within Moodle. The education provider can monitor the effectiveness of their course landing pages and instructional content, making data-driven decisions to enhance their strategies.
Benefits:
Efficiency: Automating the student enrolment process saves time and reduces the risk of manual errors.
Centralized Data: All student data and course materials are stored and managed in Moodle, providing a single source of truth for the education provider.
Personalized Learning: The LMS enables a personalized learning experience based on the specific needs and progress of the students.
By integrating Bubble.io with Moodle, the online education provider can streamline the course delivery and student management processes, creating an effective and convenient learning experience for their students while gaining valuable data insights to improve their educational offerings.
