• select the class LTI Consumer and click on add Consumer
• Name the new consumer and fill in any key and secret you like, callback URL can be left empty
• click on create (if the consumer does not immediately appear in the list, reload the page)

in Moodle as administrator

• Go to Site administration and open Plugins (under advanced features) -> Activity modules -> Manage activities
• Open Settings of the External Tools and click on Add external tool configuration
• Name your configuration and enter the same Consumer Key and Shared Secret that you used in TAO
