LTI integrations are in progress. ITS is collaborating with AU Online for course imports and course access in Brightspace. Two student-facing courses are available, and a grading training session was conducted.
ITS continues to focus on integrating several applications that utilize the LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) feature and is working to ensure that the LTIs for Moodle remain functional as the LTIs get added to Brightspace for on-campus and online classes.
ITS is working with AU Online to provide access to courses and initiate the import process, enabling AU Online staff to start building new courses in Brightspace. D2L recently announced the release of an updated course migration tool scheduled for late April. This tool has the potential to accelerate the course migration process compared to existing methods. Once it is available, ITS will test the new tool in Brightspace.
Additionally, two student-facing courses were created recently in Brightspace: an AU Embark-related course and a Math assessment course migrated from Moodle.
The Feature 360: Grades, training session was today, and the recorded video is now available from the Training section of the website for reference. The next training sessions resume in May, covering essential topics such as Quick Eval & Class Progress, Quizzes, and Intelligent Agents. These sessions aim to prepare participants with an understanding of Brightspace's robust features and functionalities.
During this week's session with D2L, the ITS team learned methods to configure the learning object repository within Brightspace, enabling more effective management and utilization of educational resources. The data hub and portfolio options in Brightspace will be covered in the week ahead.
