Adding a Replay Activity
Open the activity or assignment picker in your LMS
This varies by LMS:
- Canvas: Go to your course → Assignments → + Assignment → set Submission Type to “External Tool”
- Moodle: In your course, click Add an activity or resource → External tool
- Blackboard: In your course, click Content → Build Content → Web Link (with LTI provider)
Select Replay as the tool
Choose Replay from the list of available external tools. Your LMS will open Replay’s activity picker.
Choose your activities
You’ll see all the Replay activities available for your organization:
- Roleplays — AI-powered conversation practice
- Rapid Fire — quick question-and-answer drills
- Script Memorization — practice delivering key messages
- Mirroring — listen and repeat exercises
- Monologues — presentation practice
- Lessons — structured learning modules
- Courses — multi-lesson learning paths
What Students See
When a student clicks the activity in your LMS:- They’re automatically signed in to Replay (no account creation needed)
- They land directly on the activity, ready to start
- After completing it, their score appears in your LMS gradebook
Students are identified by their LMS account. If your institution’s privacy settings limit what information is shared, students may appear with generic names in Replay’s analytics.
Updating Activities
One of the benefits of LTI over SCORM is that changes to activities happen automatically:- Updated scenario? Students see the new version immediately
- Changed scorecard criteria? The next attempt uses the new rubric
- New instructions? No need to re-upload anything
Tips for Instructors
- Start with one activity to test the flow before assigning to the whole class
- Check the gradebook after a test run to confirm scores are coming through
- Use courses (multi-lesson paths) for structured training programs
- Use roleplays for the most impactful practice — students get AI-powered conversation partners that adapt to their responses
