Integrate MATLAB Grader with Brightspace (D2L) — LTI 1.3

LMS Administrators: Add MATLAB Grader to Brightspace External Tools

To add MATLAB^® Grader™ to Brightspace^® External Tools, follow the steps in this section.

Note

For all text that you copy and then paste into the integration fields, make sure there are no leading and trailing spaces in the text, otherwise the integration may not work.

Step 1. Sign in to Brightspace as an LMS Administrator

Sign in to your university’s LMS instance of Brightspace as a user with administrator privileges, specifically the ability to create developer keys and configure LTI apps.

Step 2. Create New LTI Advantage Tool

1. Go to Settings > Manage Extensibility.

2. Click LTI Advantage.

3. Click Register Tool.

4. Select Standard registration and then click Register.

Step 3. Register a new LTI Advantage Tool

1. Make sure Enabled is on.

2. Use the following values to configure the LTI Advantage tool. Make sure you copy, not click, the link text, and be sure to remove any leading or trailing spaces after you paste.

   Field Name	Field Value
   Name	MATLAB Grader LTI 1.3
   Description	Automatically grade MATLAB code
   Domain	https://learningtool.mathworks.com
   Redirect URLs	https://learningtool.mathworks.com/lti/redirect
   OpenID Connect Login URL	https://learningtool.mathworks.com/lti/oidc
   Target Link URI	https://learningtool.mathworks.com/v1p3/launch
   Keyset URL	https://learningtool.mathworks.com/lti/jwk
   Extensions	Select Assignment and Grade Services. Deselect all other options so that only Assignment and Grade Services is selected.
   Roles	Select Send Institution Role.
   Substitution parameters	Leave empty.
   Custom parameters	Leave empty.

   From Brightspace Registration Details, copy the following information to where you can find it again easily for a later step:

   • Client Id

   • Brightspace Keyset URL

   • Brightspace OAuth2 Access Token URL

   • OpenID Connect Authentication Endpoint

   • Issuer

3. Save your tool configuration, but don’t close. Click View Deployments and then go to the next step.

Step 4. Create a New Deployment

1. Make sure Enabled is on and Auto Migrate Links is disabled.

2. Use the following values to configure the deployment. Make sure you copy, not click, the link text, and be sure to remove any leading or trailing spaces after you paste.

   Field Name	Field Value
   Tool	The value in this field is inherited from the tool configuration.
   Name	MATLAB Grader LTI 1.3
   Description	Automatically grade MATLAB code
   Extensions	Select Assignment and Grade Services. Deselect all other options so that only Assignment and Grade Services is selected.
   Security	Select Org Unit Information. This item must be checked for you to access the assignment created with this tool. Select User ID. MATLAB Grader uses this ID so it can know when the same user is returning. Select Link Information (and Title and Description). The title and description tell MATLAB Grader the name of the course that launched the tool, which can be useful for reporting and content management.
   Configuration Settings	Select Grades created by LTI will be included in Final Grade. Checking this setting allows instructors the option to create assessments whose grades are part of the final grade. Select Auto Create Grade Items. If this option is not checked, no grade columns are created.
   Substitution parameters	Leave empty.
   Custom parameters	Leave empty.

3. Click the copy icon next to the Deployment Id to copy it. Then, paste it somewhere you can find it easily, with the rest of the information you gathered from the register tool page. This information is required for the next step.

   

4. Click Save.

Step 5. Register Tool Information with MATLAB Grader

1. Go to MATLAB Grader.

   Sign in to MATLAB Grader as an LMS Administrator and click LMS Integration. Alternatively, you can access the page directly at https://grader.mathworks.com/lti_credentials.

   When you sign in to MATLAB Grader, use the MathWorks^® Account associated with the LMS administrator. The account holder must also be a license administrator for managing MathWorks licenses and must have been given access to MATLAB Grader by MathWorks Customer Support or by another license administrator at your university.

2. Enter integration values on the LMS Integration page.

   1. Under Step 1, choose LTI version “LTI 1.3.”

   2. Under Step 3, using the information that you copied from the tool configuration and the deployment configuration, provide the following values:

      For this MATLAB Grader LMS Integration field…	Enter the value you copied from this field in Brightspace (D2L):
      Issuer	Issuer
      Client ID	Client Id
      Public keyset URL	Brightspace Keyset URL
      Access token URL or endpoint	Brightspace OAuth2 Access Token URL
      OIDC auth request endpoint	OpenID Connect Authentication Endpoint
      Deployment ID	Deployment Id

   3. Click Submit.

Ready For Instructor Access

The integration is now complete. Instructors can now add MATLAB Grader problems to their courses.

Note

You must provide instructors with this URL: https://learningtool.mathworks.com/v1p3/launch. They need this URL to create a new activity.

If instructors have already created assessment content at https://grader.mathworks.com, they can add content by following the instructions in Add MATLAB Grader Assessment Items to LMS Course.

Otherwise, instructors can go to https://grader.mathworks.com to set up collections (Create Collections and Groups) and start adding content (Add MATLAB Grader Assessment Items to LMS Course).
