There are two ways to add Kyron assets into your course’s assignments, both through establishing an LTI connection. The first is deep linking, and the second is using our LTI link.
This article goes into detail how to create assignments in Canvas and D2L Brightspace via deep linking.
Canvas
Before adding Kyron assets to your Canvas assignments, make sure you have followed the steps from our LTI 1.3 Setup on Canvas.
1. Click “+ Assignment.”
2. The Assignment Name will auto-populate based on the Kyron asset selected in Step 4 and can be edited later. You may also add learner instructions if desired.
3. Enter in the number of points you want the assignment to be worth, the Assignment Group, and how you plan to grade the assignments (for points or based on completion).
You can also select whether you want the assignment to count towards a learner’s final grade.
This article provides more information into the different types of scoring.
4. For Submission Type, make sure you have selected External Tool.
Click “Find” and search for your institution’s Kyron organization name in the list that appears.
Under Course Selection, select the appropriate lesson from the list that appears by clicking the + symbol.
Under Preferences, you can choose to disable the AI assistant voice for all learners if desired.
5. Scroll down and click Submit Selection.
6. Click Select.
7. Select if you’d like to allow unlimited or limited attempts for completing the assignment.
8. Set your assignment access dates.
If you don’t want learners to access Kyron Assets after the assignment’s due date, set the Due Date and Until Date to be the same in your assignment settings.
If a learner tries to open the Kyron Asset after the specified date, they will see the following message on their screen:
D2L Brightspace
After you have connected Kyron Learning with D2L Brightspace via LTI 1.3, your Kyron Deployment is ready for instructors and course creators to access. Here’s how to add a Kyron Learning Asset on Brightspace:
1. Navigate to the Course and Lesson in which you’d like to add an activity
2. Click "Add Existing”
3. Find and click Kyron Deployment that you created in Step 3 of the LTI 1.3 configuration.
4. You will now see a Deep Linking course selector, which contains all the courses in the Kyron Organization that you registered as an LTI Tool.
5. Click “Submit Selection”. With that, your Kyron assignment is ready! 🎉
