After setting up your WebAssign course, create links from Brightspace® to activities or other content in WebAssign. Linked graded activities are included in the Brightspace gradebook unless you choose to exclude them.
This feature is not available to instructors
using the old Brightspace integration.
Note Category scores and overall course scores can not be
synced to Brightspace.
Before adding links to WebAssign activities, make sure your WebAssign course is set up the way you want it.
- Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your WebAssign course.
- Configure assignment settings such as grading, attempts, feedback, time limits, due
dates, point
values, and grade categories.
Best Practice Use consistent assignment settings and a consistent schedule
for due dates and times.
- Prerequisites
- Integrate WebAssign With Your Brightspace Course
Links created in this way are sometimes called deep
links because they are not just web links but allow data to be exchanged
between Brightspace and WebAssign.
-
Open your Brightspace course.
-
Open the Course Builder tool.
In the Content tab, click .
-
Drag from Add Content to your
module.
Alternatively, click and
select your module.
-
Select a location to add your new links.
-
Select activities to include in your course.
By default, when you include a graded activity it is
added to the Brightspace gradebook.
If
your school uses a Brightspace Partner integration, due and
available dates set in your WebAssign course are
synced to Brightspace. Any changes you
make to due and available dates in your WebAssign course sync to your Brightspace course. For consistency, make sure your WebAssign and Brightspace courses
are set to the same time zone.
-
Configure grade syncing with Brightspace.
