LMS-independent use of digital tasks
What's this about?
- Your university doesn't use Moodle, but you want to use STACK tasks?
- You have Moodle, but STACK isn't installed yet?
- Do you want to integrate digital tasks securely and permanently into your LMS via LTI?
Providing access to Moodle and STACK for numerous university scenarios.
We create technical solutions that enable educators to use first- and second-generation digital tasks – even when Moodle or STACK are not available locally. In addition, we provide access to Moodle and STACK tasks via standardized interfaces and support IT departments as well as educators with installation, LTI integration, operation, and support to ensure digital tasks can be used across institutions.
SERVICES
Who are these services for?
From existing Moodle setups and alternative LMS platforms to your very first pilot project: We will work together to determine the best approach for your university.
SERVICES
WITHOUT MOODLE
Universities with alternative LMS platforms
Using Moodle and STACK tasks via LTI from existing systems such as ILIAS, Stud.IP, OPAL, or Canvas.
SERVICES
WITH MOODLE
Moodle-based universities without STACK
Access to STACK tasks without a local STACK installation, or with support for installation, testing, and operations.
SERVICES
TEACHING & TECHNOLOGY
Educators and IT staff
Consultation, technical assessment, support, and training materials for the productive use of digital tasks.
SCENARIOS
Typical use cases
The Moodle & STACK Connect Center doesn't just guide you through the technical connection – it supports your entire journey from the initial test to stable implementation in your courses.
Integration
The LTI connection between your university LMS and the Moodle/STACK infrastructure is prepared, set up, and tested.
Usage
Educators can implement Moodle and STACK tasks in exercises, self-study phases, or formative assessments.
Operate & Support
Support structures, training opportunities, and technical coordination help to make the utilization sustainable over the long term.
PROCESS
How the integration works
From the initial inquiry to regular operations: The process is transparent, collaborative, and tailored to your university's specific technical setup.
1. Submit an inquiry
Briefly describe your current LMS, your technical setup, and your desired usage scenario.
Clarify technical requirements
Together, we select assignment formats, feedback strategies, and ways to integrate them.
Developing a didactic scenario
Together, we select task formats, feedback strategies, and integration options.
3. Datenschutzerklärung unterzeichnen
Before moving to ongoing operations, the relevant data privacy details are verified, and the data protection declaration along with the required agreements are executed.
4. Regelbetrieb mit Support starten
Following a successful trial phase, utilization in courses can begin. The Moodle & STACK Connect Center supports ongoing operations with dedicated support structures for educators and IT staff.
INTEGRATION
Why LTI?
LTI enables the integration of external learning tools into existing learning management systems. This allows universities to use Moodle and STACK tasks without having to change their entire LMS infrastructure.
The benefit: You don’t need to restructure your entire technical infrastructure to get started with next-generation digital tasks. Sie müssen nicht zuerst Ihre gesamte technische Infrastruktur umbauen, um mit digitalen Aufgaben der nächsten Generation zu starten.
Interoperable
The integration can be tested and implemented with various learning management systems.
Efficient
Local IT infrastructures receive support without requiring every university to operate all components itself.
Sustainable
The integration creates a basis for using quality-controlled tasks from DZdA structures.

FAQ
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our services. If you have any further questions, we would be happy to assist you personally.
What is the Moodle & STACK Connect Center?
The center supports universities in the technical utilization of Moodle and STACK tasks, particularly regarding LTI integration, installation, and support.
Does my university require Moodle?
No. Even if your university uses a different learning management system, you can still access Moodle and STACK tasks. The only requirement is a working LTI integration.
Can STACK be used with other systems like ILIAS, Stud.IP, OPAL, or Canvas?
Utilization via LTI is specifically intended for such scenarios. The technical requirements will be reviewed together on a case-by-case basis.
What is LTI?
Learning Tools Interoperability is a standard used to integrate external learning tools into existing learning management systems. It is supported by almost all LMS platforms.
Who needs to be involved at the university?
Typically, teachers, IT staff, and, where necessary, data privacy or e-learning teams participate. The actual group of people depends on your specific use case.
Are there any technical requirements?
That depends on your current LMS and how you plan to use it. As a first step, we will work together to clarify the system, interfaces, user roles, and data privacy requirements.
Is the service free of charge?
For members of public German universities, the service is intended as a support offering within the framework of the DZdA. Details can be clarified during the consultation.
Can individual educators make an inquiry?
Yes, individual instructors are welcome to submit a request. Technical implementation usually follows in coordination with the university’s IT or e-learning staff.
How does a pilot integration work?
Following technical clarification, a test connection is set up, trialed with a specific scenario, and then prepared for regular operation.
Do you provide support and training?
Yes. The Moodle & STACK Connect Center sets up support systems and cooperates with further DZdA centers on training courses and self-learning units.
