Settings for Brightspace LTI

Standard

The standard with which Michigan Virtual courses need to comply.

H5P content added as LTI for a grade in Brightspace needs the correct settings to ensure it writes to the grade book.

 

Requirements

What exactly do course developers need to include in order to comply with this standard?

H5P content that needs to be written to the grade book needs to be published as protected and have the LTI settings updated. It will need to be inserted into Brightspace using the Insert Stuff tool.

 

Implementation

How can course developers implement this standard? What is the process for doing so?

Publishing Content:

  1. Navigate to the Edit screen of the H5P you want to publish
  2. Scroll down and click on Publish in the side nav
  3. Set the Status to Protected

H5P LTI Settings:

  1. Select LTI Settings in the side nav
  2. Choose when to send scores to the LMS and decide if logged-in users should be allowed to resume content.

Note: If LTI setting is set to “Best Attempt” and the gradebook score is removed from a learner for that item, removing the gradebook item does not reset the “Best Attempt” score of the h5p. Example: A user scores 100% on the h5p item and receives complete on the gradebook item . The score is then removed and the gradebook item goes back to incomplete. If the learner retakes the quiz and scores 95%, this will not complete the activity in the gradebook (even if the complete threshold is set below 95%), because 95% is not a “Best Attempt”. This may be more problematic when clearing demo users scores than for real learners. To avoid this issue, h5p LTI settings can be set to “Last Attempt”. Setting choice will be dependent on situation.

Insert into Brightspace:

When inserting an H5P in this manner, an LTI link and a Gradebook item will be created. To remove the gradebook item, the LTI link must first be deleted.

  1. Navigate to the page where you want to add the H5P
  2. Put your cursor where you’d like the H5P object to go
  3. Select the Insert Stuff button
  4. Select the H5P you want to insert–it will automatically create a graded item in the grade book, along with an LTI link
