Akindi

Overview

Akindi allows for an instructor to launch an External Learning Tool (LTI) link to sign in to the Akindi website.  In Akindi, an instructor can sync your Brightspace course roster, build exams, and sync grades with your Brightspace course.

Instructions for Use

Insert a Link

Your school may have a link to Akindi within the Brightspace navbar.  If you do not see it within the navbar, you can add the link to your course following the instructions below.
