JavaScript Input
----------------
The JavaScript Input problem type allows you to create your own learning tool
using HTML and other standard Internet languages and then add the tool directly
into Studio. When you use this problem type, Studio embeds your tool in an
IFrame so that your students can interact with it in the LMS. You can grade
your students' work using JavaScript and some basic Python, and the grading
is integrated into the edX grading system.
This problem type doesn't appear in the menu of advanced problems in Studio. To
create a JavaScript input problem type, you'll create a blank advanced problem,
and then enter your code into the component editor.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#. Create your JavaScript application, and then upload all files associated with
that application to the **Files & Uploads** page.
#. In the unit where you want to create the problem, click **Problem**
under **Add New Component**, and then click the **Advanced** tab.
#. Click **Blank Advanced Problem**.
#. In the component that appears, click **Edit**.
#. Click the **Settings** tab.
#. Set **Maximum Attempts** to a number larger than zero.
#. In the component editor, enter your code.
#. Click **Save**.
To re-create the example problem above, follow these steps.
#. Go to :ref:`Appendix F` and use the code samples to create the following files:
- webGLDemo.html
- webGLDemo.js
- webGLDemo.css
- three.min.js
#. On the **Files & Uploads** page, upload the four files you just created.
#. Create a new blank advanced problem component.

.. notes:: When you create a JavaScript Input problem, keep the following in mind.
- The webGLDemo.js file defines the three JavaScript functions (**WebGLDemo.getGrade**,
**WebGLDemo.getState**, and **WebGLDemo.setState**).
- The JavaScript input problem code uses **WebGLDemo.getGrade**, **WebGLDemo.getState**,
and **WebGLDemo.setState** to grade, save, or restore a problem. These functions must
be global in scope.
- **WebGLDemo.getState** and **WebGLDemo.setState** are optional. You only have to define
these functions if you want to conserve the state of the problem.
- **Width** and **height** represent the dimensions of the IFrame that holds the
application.
- When the problem opens, the cone and the cube are both blue, or "unselected." When
you click either shape once, the shape becomes yellow, or "selected." To unselect
the shape, click it again. Continue clicking the shape to select and unselect it.
- The response is graded as correct if the cone is selected (yellow) when the user
clicks **Check**.
- Clicking **Check** or **Save** registers the problem's current state.

Adding LTI to a unit
==================== Create an LTI Component
-----------------------
After LTI has been enabled, and an external provider has been registered, an
instance of it can be added to a unit. Creating an LTI component in your course has three steps.

To regiser the external LTI provider, you’ll add the LIT ID, the client
**weight** [float] key, and the client secret in the **lti_passports** policy key.

the raw grade will be in the range [0.0, 1.0]. In order to change this range, #. On the **Advanced Settings** page, locate the **lti_passports**

For example, the value in the **lti_passports** field may be the following.
::
“test_lti_id:b289378-f88d-2929-ctools.umich.edu:secret”
If you have multiple LTI providers, separate the values with a comma.
Make sure to surround each entry with quotation marks.
::

The page refreshes automatically. At the top of the page,
you see a notification that your changes have been saved, and you can
see your entries in the **lti_passports** policy key.
Step 3. Add the LTI Component to a Unit
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#. In the unit where you want to create the problem, click **Advanced**
under **Add New Component**, and then click **LTI**.
#. In the component that appears, click **Edit**.
#. In the component editor, set the options that you want. See the table
below for a description of each option.
#. Click **Save**.
.. list-table::
:widths: 10 80

* - `Setting`
- Description
* - `Display Name`
- Specifies the name of the problem. This name appears above the problem and in
the course ribbon at the top of the page in the courseware.
* - `custom_parameters`
- Enables you to add one or more custom parameters. For example, if you've added an
e-book, a custom parameter may include the page that your e-book should open to.
You could also use a custom parameter to set the background color of the LTI component.
Every custom parameter has a key and a value. You must add the key and value in the following format.
::
key=value
For example, a custom parameter may resemble the following.
::
bgcolor=red

To add a custom parameter, click **Add**.
* - `graded`
- Indicates whether the grade for the problem counts towards student's total grade. By
default, this value is set to **False**.
* - `has_score`
- Specifies whether the problem has a numerical score. By default, this value
is set to **False**.
* - `launch_url`
- Lists the URL that Studio sends to the external LTI provider so that the provider
can send back students' grades. This setting is only used if **graded** is set to
**True**.
* - `lti_id`
- Specifies the LTI ID for the external LTI provider. This value must be the same
LTI ID that you entered on the **Advanced Settings** page.
* - `open_in_a_new_page`
- Indicates whether the problem opens in a new page. If you set this value to **True**,
the student clicks a link that opens the LTI content in a new window. If you set
this value to **False**, the LTI content opens in an IFrame in the current page.
* - `weight`
- Specifies the number of points possible for the problem. By default, if an
external LTI provider grades the problem, the problem is worth 1 point, and
a student’s score can be any value between 0 and 1.
For more information about problem weights and computing point scores, see :ref:`Problem Weight`.
