Toddle supports integrations with external learning tools, providing students and teachers with seamless access to the resources they regularly utilize. In this article, we will explore how Toddle integrates with OneNote.
This article will cover:
Set up OneNote in Toddle
As an admin, you can now add tools from Toddle’s pre-configured catalog or set up custom LTI integrations that support the LTI 1.1 or 1.3 standard.
To begin:
Navigate to Admin portal→School setup→LTI apps
Click the ‘+Add’ button. You will see two options:
Add from catalog- For tools already supported by Toddle (ClickView, EdPuzzle, H5P, etc.)
Add custom app- For tools not in the catalog but that support the LTI 1.1 or 1.3 standard.
Option 1: Configure using ‘Add from catalog’
Select the LTI tool from Toddle’s catalog (e.g, OneNote).
Select the curriculum(s) you want to set it up for.
Choose the appropriate ‘Version’ from the dropdown. Click ‘Save and next’.
Enter the required credentials (client key, shared secret) provided by OneNote.
Toggle ‘Allow grade passback’ to enable scores from the LTI tool (e.g. quiz results) to flow back into Toddle’s gradebook.
Use the checkbox to enable the tool for teachers. Click ‘Save’ to complete the setup.
The integration will appear as a card showing the tool name, configured curriculums, LTI version, and its status (enabled or disabled for the teachers). From this card, you can view details of the integration, edit the settings, or delete the tool if required.
Option 2: Configure using ‘Add custom app’
Select the curriculum(s) and the LTI version (1.1 or 1.3).
Enter a name for your LTI tool and click ‘Save and next’.
Generate and enter the required credentials. For some tools, Toddle generates credentials that can be copied and pasted into the required fields. For others, credentials need to be obtained from the tool’s portal. The mandatory fields include:
Initiate login URL
Launch/Redirect URL
Keyset URL
Add an Icon URL (optional). This icon will be displayed on the LTI card.
Add any custom parameters if required. These are additional values that can be passed from Toddle to the LTI tool to customize how the integration works. The type of parameters depends on the LTI tool; some tools may provide specific keys (e.g., lti_integration_id=xxxxx ), while others may not require any.
Choose a Placement type:
Assignments – Select this for tools that are meant to be used within tasks, such as video or quiz tools. These tools will only appear when teachers create or manage assignments (e.g., EdPuzzle, ClickView, H5P, Wayground).
Course – Select this for tools that provide a shared workspace or resources such as note-taking or collaboration tools (e.g., OneNote). This placement makes the tool visible in the course navigation instead of within assignments.
Toggle these settings if needed:
Allow grade passback – When enabled, scores from the LTI tool (for example, quiz results) will automatically flow into Toddle’s gradebook for the assignments where the tool is added.
Allow roster access – When enabled, the LTI tool can access the class-wise list of all students and teachers rostered in the curriculum where the tool is launched. This allows the tool to recognize and match users correctly.
Configure Advanced settings (as supported by the tool):
Choose a launch type:
Basic launch – Opens the tool or a specific resource/activity in a new tab or inside Toddle.
Deep linking – Allows teachers to pick specific resources (such as quizzes or videos) from the tool and embed them directly inside Toddle.
Select a privacy level:
Private – Shares only minimal information (anonymous IDs) of both teachers and students with the integrated LTI tool.
Public – Shares full details (such as name and email) of both teachers and students with the integrated LTI tool.
Toggle these settings if needed:
Allow reading results – Lets the LTI tool fetch stored results (scores) from Toddle. This usually includes assignment scores and is useful when the tool needs access to performance data for analytics or progress tracking.
Allow reading gradebook columns – Lets the LTI tool read the gradebook structure itself (for example, assignment titles, due dates, and categories). This helps the tool know where to place scores or how to align results with existing assignments.
Use the checkbox to enable the tool for teachers. Click ‘Save’ to complete setup.
The integration will appear as a card showing the tool name, configured curriculums, LTI version, and its status (enabled or disabled for the teachers). From this card, you can view details of the integration, edit the settings, or delete the tool if required.
Use OneNote in the classroom
As an educator, you’ll be able to access the OneNote tab from the left panel within your class. Clicking this tab will open the OneNote class notebook page, where you can click ‘Sign in to OneNote’ and log in using your school’s Microsoft account to get started.
After signing in, you'll be taken to the OneNote interface. Here, you can collaborate with co-teachers, organize lessons, and share content with students, all within a single class notebook. You’ll also be able to manage settings such as student access and edit permissions.
Note: Each class supports one shared notebook that is visible to all teachers and students added to the class. Permissions and collaboration settings are managed within the OneNote interface.
If no notebook has been created for the class yet, you can click on ‘create a class notebook’ to set up a new notebook and configure access settings for students and co-teachers.
Once a class notebook has been created for the course, you can continue accessing it by clicking ‘Open your class notebook’. This will open the linked notebook in a new tab.
Note: Teachers cannot access existing notebooks created directly in OneNote.
View at the students’ end
Students will see the OneNote tab in the left panel of their class.
Clicking on this tab will open a prompt to access the notebook. They’ll need to click ‘Open OneNote in a new tab’ to launch the notebook.
However, for students to access the notebook, you must manually add them using the ‘Add or remove students’ option in OneNote. Students must also log in using their school or organizational Microsoft account.
The notebook will open in a new browser tab, where students can view or interact with the content based on the permissions set by the teacher. For example, they may be able to edit their individual sections or collaborate in shared spaces.
If access hasn’t been granted, students will see an error message prompting them to contact their teacher.
