Create a oEmbed reader of a book

Step 1: Go to https://buku.app

Visit https://buku.app in your browser and login with your BUKU account.

Step 2: Go to the book you want to embed

Once logged in to your BUKU account, locate the Search bar at the top of the page. Type in the title, author, publisher or keywords related to the book you want to embed in your Moodle course. Review the search results to find the exact book you need. When you find the correct title, click on it to open the book’s reader.

Step 3: Copy the URL

With the book open in BUKU, go to your browser’s address bar and locate the full URL. This URL will serve as the OEmbed link for integrating the book into Moodle. The format should look similar to this: https://buku.app/book/{book_id}, where {book_id} is a unique identifier for the specific book.

Carefully highlight the entire URL and copy it to your clipboard (you can typically do this by right-clicking and selecting Copy or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C on Windows or Command+C on Mac). Ensure the URL is complete and accurate, as this link will directly embed the chosen book within Moodle for easy access by users.

Step 4: Add the link to a text and media area in Moodle

Now that you have the book URL copied, navigate to the Moodle course where you want to embed the book.

1. In the course, add a Text and media area where you’d like the book to appear.
2. Paste the BUKU URL directly into the text area (using Ctrl+V or Command+V to paste).
3. Click Save and return to course to confirm.

Moodle will automatically recognize the BUKU link and display the book using the OEmbed format, allowing students to interact with the content directly within the course.
