SoftChalk Cloud LTI

Overview

SoftChalk Cloud allows for an instructor to add an External Learning Tool (LTI) link to a SoftChalk activity through the SoftChalk Cloud Link Selector.  Upon successful completion of a SoftChalk activity, grades will be synced to the D2L Brightspace gradebook.

Instructions for Use

Link Selector Method

1. Navigate to the Content tool of your D2L Brightspace course.
2. Click Existing Activities > SoftChalk Cloud Link Selector.
   Note: This can also be found within the HTML Editor using ‘Insert Stuff’.
3. Sign in with your SoftChalk Cloud account (if prompted).
4. Click the SoftChalk lesson you want to insert (you may need to expand groupings).
5. Click LTI Link.
6. Click Select.
   

Manual Entry Method

1. Navigate to the Content tool of your D2L Brightspace course.
2. Click Existing Activities > External Learning Tools.
3. Click Create New LTI Link.
   
4. Input a Title and the URL of the SoftChalk activity.
   
5. Click Create and Insert.

Grade Synchronization

A new External Learning Tool link must be created for each assignment.  Following a student's completion of a SoftChalk activity, the grade will be automatically sent to the D2L Brightspace gradebook.  

Note: Grade Sync will create the grade item within the D2L Brightspace gradebook, but it will not create a category.  You will need to move the created grade item into a category.  If you would like to create the grade item manually, review the Assessing LTI & SCORM article.
