Introduction

Using Auralia and Musition with your LMS has many benefits, with streamlined account management and simplified grade management.

This document should be reviewed by all faculty, but is especially useful if you have previously used Auralia and Musition in a standalone environment.

Prerequisites

Your LMS must be setup by your LMS administration team to work with Auralia and Musition.

Please refer to this document to setup your LMS.

Accounts & Authentication

When your service is linked to your LMS, most account management, and all authentication, is via your LMS.

  1. All accounts are automatically created when a user first launches Auralia or Musition from the LMS
  2. Students should not be imported into Auralia and Musition
  3. All users must launch Auralia and Musition from the LMS

Account Information

Within your LMS, you may be able to control the type of information that passes through to Auralia and Musition.  In general, these items are supported.

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Email
  • Access level (LMS role)

Other account settings such as voicetype are still controlled within Auralia and Musition, and are editable on the People page.

Roles

LMS users are mapped to Students and Administrators in Auralia and Musition.

Classes

Student groups or class names are also synced and students are dynamically allocated to whichever class they launched from.

This function may be toggled on or off for your service. If it is not working as expected, please get in touch with us to review your service settings.

Launching

When your service is linked to your LMS, you must launch Auralia and Musition from the LMS.

There are two types of launches; ‘Task’ and ‘Practise’.

Task Launch

A task launch connects a task in your LMS with a specific “test” in Auralia or Musition. When you first launch the task from the LMS, you will need to attach it to a test in Auralia or Musition.

The results of the attached test are then reported back to the LMS.

Please refer to this document for details on how to create a task and link to a test.

Practise Launch

A practise launch opens Auralia or Musition for general use. Students can practice any topic, but cannot take tests, these must be done via a Task launch.

No results are reported back.

Launching – Desktop or Browser

By default, Auralia & Musition will always launch in the web browser. This interface supports all topics, is fast and responsive, and is easy to use. There are some special instances where an assignment will open the installed desktop software instead. If this is the case, download links for the installation files are provided when they launch.


  1. When students launch a task that will definitely work in their browser, it will launch in the browser.
  2. When students launch an older task that requires the installed desktop software, it will launch the desktop software.
  3. When students do a practise launch, it will launch in the browser. 


There is also a 'desktop launch' button in the browser interface that will allow students and teachers to launch the desktop software if they require. Download links for the installation files are provided on this page.
