Student worker training courses in D2L Brightspace

Overview

Starting in January 2026, there is a new way to add student worker training resources in D2L Brightspace. Within a course, add a content topic LTI link that goes to the annual student worker training course (stored in the MnSite Brightspace site). The student completes the course via the LTI link. The student's training module individual grade scores and their 'final grade' completion are sent back to your Brightspace course grade book.

2. Navigate to the Content tool. 
3. Within a module unit, select Add Existing > External Tool Activity.
4. Select Create New LTI Link.

7. Select Create and Insert. 
8. The content topic is created.
   Note: Avoid clicking on the topic title. If you do happen to select the topic title, it will launch the LTI Link, which enrolls your account as a Student role in the MnSite course. 

Notes

• Upon selecting the content topic LTI link, the student in your course is taken directly into the Annual Student Worker Training course in MnSite.
• From the Content page, the student views/completes the training modules as separate topics in the MnSite course.
• The student's final grade is sent back to your Brightspace course under the new grade item, called "Final Grade for Annual Student Worker Training". This grade item is automatically excluded from your Brightspace grade book. 
• Starting October 29, 2026, each training module is sent back to your Brightspace course as an individual grade item.
