Once the SI Lab Portal LTI link has been configured in your Brightspace environment, instructors can add a link that takes users directly to the SI Lab Portal Gradebook for a specific class.
Important: A Gradebook link only provides access to the SI Lab Portal Gradebook. Users cannot access other SI Lab Portal areas through this link.
Know Before You Begin
- Gradebook mapping creates an LTI link that takes users directly to a class Gradebook.
- Users can only access Gradebook functions through this link.
- User views within the Gradebook will vary based on their Brightspace role.
- Individual activity links must still be created for graded activities that require grade passback.
1. Open your Brightspace course and click Content.
2. Add and Activity
Within the appropriate module, select Existing Activities
3. Select the SI Lab Portal Tool
Within the list of external tools, choose SI Lab Portal (naming conventions will vary by institution.)
The SI Lab Portal Mapping menu will appear in the Add Activity window.
4. Select Your Class
Open the dropdown to select the SI Lab Portal class you want to link. This setting may be preserved if you have already selected the dropdown in a previous session.
5. Create the LTI Link
Click Link to Gradebook to create the link to the course gradebook
We recommend that you relabel this item to say SI Lab Portal Gradebook to avoid any confusion in future course copies.
Once you're done, set this link as visible to students and click Save and Close.
Managing Existing Links
To modify a lesson link after it has been created:
- Locate the content item within your Brightspace course.
- Select Edit Activity in the right corner.
- Update the destination or availability settings as needed, then click Save and Close.
All Science Interactive Links must be set to open in a new tab or window.
If you see an SI Lab Portal page embedded in Brightspace, it is possible the activity has the wrong display setting.
Click Edit Assignment, then expand the Display & Completion, and check Open in a New Tab. Then click Save and Close.
