Built for Brightspace — Highlights

Three features that make EduGears AI the best LTI choice for Brightspace.

Standard LTI 1.3 Setup

Same LTI 1.3 Advantage flow as Moodle and Canvas. Register at D2L Admin → External Learning Tools → New Deployment in about 3 minutes.

Grade Passback to Brightspace

AI-graded assessments post scores back to the Brightspace Gradebook automatically via LTI Assignment and Grade Services.

Complements Native D2L AI

Why EduGears for Brightspace

  • Same LTI 1.3 setup as Moodle and Canvas. If your district already uses EduGears with another LMS, the Brightspace deployment is identical — same URL, same flow.
  • Grade passback to Brightspace gradebook. AI-graded assessments post grades back to the Brightspace Gradebook via LTI AGS — students see results instantly.
  • AI question types: multiple choice, short answer, essay, matching, and more. Generate 9 question types from a topic or uploaded document — export as QTI 2.1 for any LMS question bank.
  • FERPA compliant. Student data encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train AI models.
