[LMS Integrations instructions](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/lms-integrations?hsLang=en#lms-integrations-instructions) April 3, 2025 # Moodle - Coursera Granular Grade Sync Integration over LTI Coursera course(s) or gradable item(s) that constitute a Coursera course can be integrated into Moodle using LTI 1.3 technology. Once a Coursera course(s) or gradable item(s) is enabled in Moodle environment, following the instructions in this document, users will be able to Single Sign-On to Coursera course(s) or gradable item(s) right from the Moodle learning management system (LMS) and learning results (LTI 1.3 compliant Score objects) can be synced in the form of an aggregate score for a Coursera course(s) or at the level of the gradable item(s) to Moodle LMS. **Article content:** [General Integration Overview Video](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/moodle-coursera-granular-sync#general_overview_video) [Grade Sync Options Overview Video](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/moodle-coursera-granular-sync#grade_sync_options_video) [LTI Setup for Granular Grade Sync Instructions](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/moodle-coursera-granular-sync#LTI_setup) ### General Integration Overview Video ### Grade Sync Options Overview Video **Note**: for more info about grade sync see the article [Grades sync to LMS from Coursera](https://help.gg4l.com/knowledge/options-of-grades-sync-to-lms-from-coursera?hsLang=en) ### LTI Setup for Granular Grade Sync Instructions **Attention:** If you are interested in **FINAL GRADE SYNC**, please follow the instructions from the [given article](https://help.gg4l.com/knowledge/options-of-grades-sync-to-lms-from-coursera?hsLang=en).  If you would like to proceed with the **GRANULAR GRADE SYNC** option, please follow the instructions given below.  Configuring granular grade syncing, SchoolDay supports two options for a granular sync: **Option A**. LMS Instructor is responsible for creating Moodle activities that are LTI deep-linked to the gradable item(s) that constitute a Coursera course. LMS gradebook will be populated with the entry for each deep-linked Moodle activity that corresponds to a gradable item of the Coursera course. **Option B**. LMS Instructor will create a single Moodle activity that represents the entire Coursera course. SchoolDay will populate the LMS gradebook with entries for all gradable item(s) that constitute a given Coursera course. The integration setup steps are the following: 1.
