Overview
AEFIS allows for an instructor to view the course syllabus and course outcomes, as well as the retrieval of assessment data from D2L Brightspace. Data retrieval is done through an API connection, where the instructor authorizes AEFIS to pull course information, assignment data, and grade data out of Brightspace and into the AEFIS platform.
