Setting up with Desire2Learn (Brightspace)

 

Before You Start

These directions are to add Revision Assistant to Desire2Learn (Brightspace) Learning Management System. You must sign-in to your Brightspace account each time before adding and/or using Revision Assistant.

Your Brightspace System Admin can install the tool provider at the course or the district level. However, if your system admin does not plan to configure the External Tool at the system level, the Course Admin (or instructor) will need to install the LTI Integration at the course level. Revision Assistant functions as an External Learning Tool within Brightspace. You will have to add Revision Assistant as a External Learning Tool before using Revision Assistant in your course modules. This means that you will have to add Revision Assistant as an External Learning Tool from the Course Admin page before you can make and assign prompts. You can add an External Learning Tool by following the directions below.​​
