Integrate an Existing WebAssign Course With Brightspace

If you already created the WebAssign course you want to integrate with Brightspace® — and no students are enrolled — integrate your existing course.

Note Course templates, courses with student enrollments, and courses that are already linked to an LMS can't be linked.

The following steps for an LTI 1.0 integration. For LTI Advantage instructions, see Brightspace LTI Advantage.

  1. Open your Brightspace course.
