Instruction for Integration with D2L Brightspace LMS
1. How it works
Integration of the proctoring system and D2L Brightspace is performed through the External Learning Tool (LTI) and Supervisor SDK (JS proctoring library). First, you need to place the custom SDK code on one of the HTML pages in the LMS, and then configure the External Learning Tool in the course module to enter proctoring through the LMS.
2. Setting up a quiz element
In the course module, you must have created a Quiz element to which you want to connect proctoring.
Go to the “Content” section, enter the Quiz element and click the “Quiz Setup” button. In the settings in the right panel, in the “Availability Dates & Conditions” section, in the “Password” field, specify a custom password to restrict access to the element:
Go to the “Content” section, enter the Quiz element and click the “Quiz Setup” button. In the settings in the right panel, in the “Availability Dates & Conditions” section, in the “Password” field, specify a custom password to restrict access to the element:
Next, you need to open this Quiz element and copy the URL from the browser’s address bar:
3. Upload the proctoring script
Next, you need to place a special script for launching proctoring on the course page. You will be redirected to this page after successful user authorization via LTI.
Save the code below to the “proctoring.html” file on your computer:
Save the code below to the “proctoring.html” file on your computer:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<p>There is nothing here. This is a service page for proctoring.</p>
<script>
(function () {
var PROCTORING_SERVER = 'https://your-proctoring-server';
var w = window.parent;
var script = w.document.createElement('script');
script.setAttribute('src', `${PROCTORING_SERVER}/sdk/supervisor.js`);
script.setAttribute('data-supervisor', 'start');
w.document.body.appendChild(script);
w.document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';
script.onload = function() {
if (w.supervisor) {
w.supervisor.on('load', function(iframe) {
var hash = new URL(iframe.src).hash.slice(1);
var d = iframe.contentDocument;
d.querySelectorAll('iframe').forEach(function (subframe) {
var input = subframe.contentDocument.querySelector(
'input[type="password"]'
);
if (input) input.value = hash;
subframe.addEventListener('load', function() {
var pathname = subframe.contentWindow.location.pathname;
if (pathname === '/d2l/lms/quizzing/user/quiz_submissions.d2l') {
w.supervisor.stop().then(function () {
return w.supervisor.logout({ redirect: true });
});
}
}, false);
});
});
}
};
})();
</script>
</body>
</html>
Please note that in the script code you need to replace “your-proctoring-server” with the address of your proctoring server!
Go to the “Content” section and select “Upload / Create” > “Upload Files”:
Go to the “Content” section and select “Upload / Create” > “Upload Files”:
In the “Add a File” dialog that opens, select the “proctoring.html” file from your computer and click the “Upload” button, and then the “Add” button:
After this, a new element “proctoring” (Web Page) will appear on the “Content” page of the course.
Go inside this element and copy the URL from the browser's address bar:
Go inside this element and copy the URL from the browser's address bar:
4. Creating an LTI Link
Now you need to add External Learning Tools to the course page through which participants can begin proctored testing.
Go to section “Course Administration > External Learning Tools” > “LTI Advantage Manage Tool Links (Legacy)” and press the button “New Link”:
Go to section “Course Administration > External Learning Tools” > “LTI Advantage Manage Tool Links (Legacy)” and press the button “New Link”:
In the dialog that opens, enter the following parameters:
where <proctoring.html> replace the full URL of the page from section 3, and your-proctoring-server with the domain of your proctoring server
members = @
url = <quiz_url>#12345
where <quiz_url> replace to the full URL of the quiz and “12345” to the quiz password from section 2
After filling in all the parameters, save the settings with the “Save” button.
Return to the “Content” section of the course and add a new element to the module using the “Existing Activities” > “External Learning Tools” button:
- Title: Proctoring (or any other name)
- URL:
where <proctoring.html> replace the full URL of the page from section 3, and your-proctoring-server with the domain of your proctoring server
- Signature: Link key/secret
- Key: LTI key from your proctoring server
- Secret: LTI secret from your proctoring server
- Custom Parameters (Name = Value)
members = @
url = <quiz_url>#12345
where <quiz_url> replace to the full URL of the quiz and “12345” to the quiz password from section 2
- Security Settings: Use link security settings (check all options)
After filling in all the parameters, save the settings with the “Save” button.
Return to the “Content” section of the course and add a new element to the module using the “Existing Activities” > “External Learning Tools” button:
In the dialog that opens, select the previously created LTI Link:
After the “Proctoring” link is added to the course module, you will need to go to its settings through the “Edit properties in Place” menu and enable the “Open as External Resource” checkbox:
4. Starting a proctoring session
After these steps, you will have at least three elements in your course module:
- Quiz - the test itself, access to which is locked with a password.
- proctoring (Web Page) - the service page “proctoring.html” with a proctoring launch script (does not open directly).
- Proctoring (External Learning Tools) - external tool page for launching a proctoring session.
The learner should begin taking the proctored test by clicking on the “Proctoring (External Learning Tools)” link. If a user with a different role (for example, administrator or teacher) clicks on this link, they will be taken to the monitoring interface for all sessions that were started by learners using the same link.
6. Setting up the proctoring server
To connect the integration API with D2L, you need to load the following config with integration parameters under the proctoring system manager:
"params": {
"webhooks": {
"d2l": {
"authorizer": "lti",
"integrator": "lti",
"consumerKey": "demo",
"consumerSecret": "secret",
"callbackURL": "query.redirect",
"profile": {
"username": "payload.user_id",
"role": "payload.roles.find(v=>/Instructor/.test(v))?'proctor':'student'",
"nickname": "payload.lis_person_name_full",
"lang": "(payload.launch_presentation_locale||'').slice(0,2)",
"group": "['G',payload.context_id,payload.resource_link_id].join('-')",
"referrer": "payload.launch_presentation_return_url",
"labels": "payload.lis_person_contact_email_primary"
},
"register": {
"identifier": "[payload.user_id,payload.context_id,payload.resource_link_id].join('-').replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9_-]+/g,'_')",
"template": "payload.custom_template||'default'",
"subject": "payload.resource_link_title",
"members": "payload.custom_members==='@'?user.group:payload.custom_members",
"url": "payload.custom_url||payload.launch_presentation_return_url",
"tags": "payload.lis_person_contact_email_primary"
},
"start": true,
"stop": true,
"submit": true,
"pause": true
}
},
"rest": {},
"sdk": {}
}
The “consumerKey” and “consumerSecret” fields must be replaced with randomly generated characters and kept secret.
