Add Padlet to a Moodle Course
Padlet is a website that makes it easy to create an online bulletin board for instructors and students to share text and pictures in a variety of formats.Â
Instructors can create a Padlet at https://swarthmorecollege.padlet.org/ and then share a link to the Padlet within Moodle to give all enrolled students access.
After creating the Padlet, follow the instructions below to add the Padlet link to Moodle:
Within Padlet, click on Share (top right) and select Add to your LMS as an external tool.Â
Copy the content of the Custom parameters section that starts "public_key=" by clicking the pink Copy button
In Moodle, add a new External Tool activity, give it a name (e.g. "Padlet"), and select Padlet from the list of Pre-configured tools.
Click on the Show More link in the General section of the External Tool setup, and scroll down to the Custom Parameters box.
Paste the copied text into the Custom Parameters section of the Moodle External tool configuration.
Save the Moodle activity
The result is a link in Moodle to the Padlet. Â
