XYZ Homework Help

D2L Brightspace Integration

Go to Course Items → Export, select the items you want to export, select your LMS, and Download the Export Cartridge

To import the cartridge in Brightspace:

• Go to Course Admin, and select Import/Export/Copy Components.
• Select Import Components, and "from a course package"
• Choose the export file and click Import All Components.
• If you have a global key and secret, you can skip ahead. If you need to set up a course-level configuration, follow these steps.
  • Go to Course Admin, and click External Learning Tools
  • Click on Manage Tool Providers. If you do not see this link, then your LMS administrators have blocked your ability to self-configure the connection. You will need to ask for them to set up a global tool provider.
  • Click New Tool Provider
  • For the Launch Point enter the address shown on the Export page
  • For the Secret enter the secret you set up in your Course Settings
  • Click the "Use custom tool information" box if needed
  • For the Key, enter the Key listed in the Export screen in your XYZ Homework course.
  • For the name name, enter: XYZ Homework
  • Click the "Allow users to use this tool provider" if that option is available.
  • Under Security Settings, make sure the following options are checked (it is OK to check other ones as well):
    • Send tool consumer information to tool provider
    • Send context information to tool provider
    • Send course information to tool provider
    • Send LTI user ID and LTI role to tool provider
    • Send user name to tool provider
    • Send user email to tool provider (optional, but recommended)
  • Save

Next you will need to establish the connection between your XYZ Homework course and Brightspace course

• In Brightspace, click one of the assessment links in your course.
• If this is your first time using this key and secret, XYZ Homework will ask you, the teacher, to sign into your XYZ Homework account. This is necessary to establish a connection between your LMS account and your XYZ Homework account. You will not need to do this step again.
• Follow the prompts to associate the LMS course with your existing XYZ Homework course or create a copy.
• Once complete, all the LTI links in your LMS should work.
• Be aware:
  • LTI assessments may not show in the gradebook columns until a student started working on an assignment.
  • Links, files, forums, and and text items were imported into your LMS. Changing them in XYZ Homework will not change them in your LMS
  • If you change assessment settings or the questions in an assessment in XYZ Homework, those changes will show up when the assessment is launched from the LMS
  • If you change due dates in XYZ Homework, they will be enforced by XYZ Homework, but the due dates in the LMS will not automatically be updated.
  • Any new items added in XYZ Homework, including new assessments, will not automatically show up in the LMS; you would need to repeat the export/import process.
  • If configured, grades will be sent from XYZ Homework to the LMS immediately every time the student completes a question, but the LMS may delay updating the grade.
