D2L Brightspace Integration

  • Updated

LTI is an abbreviation for Learning Tool Interoperability, a protocol developed to enable the integration of external tools within a Learning Management System (LMS). 

This document outlines the integration process of Inspera Originality within the D2L LMS. Inspera Originality serves the purpose of providing enhanced plagiarism detection through AI as well as cross-lingual document similarity checking to provide a comprehensive Originality Report on all findings.

Important Post Integration Process

After setting up Inspera Originality for your LMS via LTI 1.3, you must share specific tool configuration details with Inspera in order to complete the integration process. This information enables Inspera to finalize the connection between the LMS and Inspera Originality. The following details must be provided:

  • Client ID
  • Issuer/Platform

  • Authentication Endpoint Keyset URL
  • Deployment ID (Optional)

*The naming of the above mentioned items may vary depending on the LMS.
