LibraryLEARN LTI and Direct Links in Brightspace
There are two options for uploading LibraryLEARN links into Brightspace, LTI links and Direct links. LTI links allow Brightspace to communicate directly with the LibraryLEARN activities like quizzes. When you use an LTI link you can pull certain analytics like time spent, participation, and even grades from quizzes directly into your gradebook.
Direct links on the otherhand are just regular URLs that provide access to the activities.
With LibraryLEARN, you might consider using direct links for non-graded activities like tutorials and videos, and an LTI link for quizzes.
Below are the instructions for finding the LTI links and Direct links from LibraryLEARN and how to implement them in Brightspace. While you can pick and choose from the many activities within LibraryLEARN, you library liaisons are also available to create specific modules for you and curate activities for your course, or specific assignments. Here are some examples:
