You have two options for installing Library Modules: Installing It Yourself or Asking A Librarian To Install It
Here's how to add Library Online Learning Modules to your D2L-based course using an LTI Link.
The LTI Links are available under each module. Make sure to copy the entire link.
In your D2L course, in the section where you would like to add the Library Module, select Add Existing Activities and in the drop-down list, select Third-party Integrations.
In the Add Activity Window, scroll to the bottom and select Create New LTI Link.
In the Create window, give the activity a name and paste the LTI Link into the LTI URL field. In the Tool menu, select SoftChalk 1.3. Then select Create and Insert.
On the inserted module, select the downward chevron. From the drop-down menu, select View Topic.
In the next window, scroll to the bottom and select Add a grade item...
If you already have a grade item in your gradebook that you would like to assign this too, select it in the drop-down menu and then click save. If not, select the New Grade Item link to create a new gradebook entry.
In the New Grade Item window, enter a name for the gradebook entry, enter the maximum number of points for the assignment, and then select create.
Congratulations! The module is now installed!
Students should now be able to access the module and grades should be recorded in your gradebook.
There are other options you can set for the module. You can access these by selecting the downward chevron next to the module name and selecting View Topic from the drop-down menu.
In the actions menu, you can Change Scoring Method, Change Maximum Attempts, and Complete All Attempts. Select Change Scoring Method to take the student's First, Most Recent, or Highest Score, or an Average Score of all attempts. Select Change Maximum Attempts to limit the number of times students can reattempt the activity. Sometimes students may forget to fully complete the assignment. If it's passed the due date and scores are still not showing in the gradebook, select Complete All Attempts to close all uncompleted attempts.
You can set a start date and due date by scrolling to the bottom of the window and selecting Add dates and restrictions ...
Your librarians are always happy to help out. Add one of us to your D2L course as an instructor, and we can get it done for you.
After the content is added, you can remove the librarian from your course, if you prefer. Librarians will never make changes to your course that are not explicitly requested.
Send an email to your librarian!
