For Admins

For cases where you have copied an existing Brightspace course and want to create a copy of the Vocareum course previously associated with the original Brightspace course. This process will preserve the LTI links in your Brightspace course copy and ensure they redirect to the corresponding locations in the new Vocareum course.

Pre-requisites:

  • LTI 1.3 connection with Vocareum configured in your Brightspace instance. Refer to the D2L documentation on Tool Registration, Deployment, and Links for setup guidance.

  • A copy of an existing Brightspace course that included LTI 1.3 connections to a Vocareum course.

LTI App Configuration

Perform the following steps in your Brightspace instance:

  • Navigate to the Admin Tools menu

  • Click Manage Extensibility

  • From the LTI Advantage tab, locate your existing Registered Tool for Vocareum and open it to edit the settings.

  • Add a custom substitution parameter to the tool with the Name "lms_courseid" and the Value "$Context.id.history"

  • Save your changes.

  • Scroll to the bottom and click View Links.

  • Click New Link.

  • Specify the following fields on the Create Link section:

    • Name: The desired name for your content selector. The name you specify here is the name that appears in the UI in other areas.

    • URL: The launch point URL where the user navigates when they click the content selector.

    • Type: Keep the default value, which is Basic Launch.

  • Click Save and Close.

Cloning A Vocareum Course from Brightspace

  • Within the new copy of your Brightspace course, select the Vocareum Basic Launch link you created in the previous step.

  • Because no Vocareum courses are already connected to this new Brightspace course, you'll be given a choice of three actions. In this case, you will need to select 'Clone a Vocareum Course and Redirect LTI Links'

  • Once the Vocareum LTI 1.3 Deep Linking Tool opens, search for the Vocareum course that the parent Brightspace course was associated with and click 'Clone and Redirect'

Once the new Vocareum course clone is created, all LTI-related resources/links in the Brightspace course copy will automatically redirect to it.
