   Note

   Grade items in D2L are associated with the external tool and as such each assignment will write to the same Grade item. To get around this you can either import your grades using a .csv file or use LTI 1.3.

Common Cartridge

If using the Common Cartridge file you should first set up an External Tool in Brightspace with the LTI Key’s and URL’s for your organization.

When done then in the Brightspace course you have created go to Course Admin and Import/Export/Copy Components and Import Components and proceed to upload the .ismcc file.

When completed, View Content and then External Learning Tools where you will see all the assignments listed.

Then go to Content, select Existing Activities, External Learning Tools, select your assignment from the list to add as an activity to the course. Repeat for each Codio assignment you wish to create an activity for

Single sign-in and account creation

Codio maps D2L users to Codio users by using the D2L email address to identify the user and create the Codio account. In all subsequent access, the D2L userID will be used. In the event the user changes their email address in D2L, the user will be mapped to the same Codio account.

• If the user does not have a Codio account, a new user account will be created in the background and the user will enter directly into the Codio content. The D2L user role is carried into Codio.

• If the user already has an account they will enter into the Codio content without any sign-in required. If they already have a Codio account, but are not a member of the organization, they will be required to complete an email verification.
