Brightspace (LMS) External Learning Tool Request

External Learning Tools (ELT) refer to digital platforms (e.g. Cengage, McGraw Hill, Pearson, etc.), instructional materials, and educational networks used to supplement classroom curricula or individual skill development. 

Request a New External Learning Tool:

  1. Confirm the External Learning Tool you want isn't already integrated with Brightspace.
  2. If the External Learning Tool is not on the current list, you may submit a request by filling out the "Request External Learning Tool" form.
    • If the tool is part of an ebook adoption, the instructor is responsible for coordinating with the campus Bookstore for inclusion in the Ace-It Book Bundle for undergraduate courses.
       
  3. New External Learning Tools must pass a security and privacy compliance review prior to approval and integration. 
     
  4. Set up the External Learning Tool in your Brightspace course. For undergraduate courses where an e-book with publisher resources has been adopted, use the BNC Course Materials Tool.
     
⚠️ Attention Undergraduate Course InstructorsPublisher included digital materials (Bookstore adoptions) can only be accessed via Brightspace. 
  • e-Books require the Course Materials: BNC Course Materials External Learning Tool
  • Courseware bundles require both: 
    • Course Materials: BNC Course Materials External Learning Tool
    • Publisher specific External Learning Tool

Troubleshooting or updating an existing ELT:

  • If you've been notified by a publisher that the tool needs to be updated (i.e. the connection must change to LTI 1.3), please use the "Request External Learning Tool" form to submit the publisher provided information for update.
     
  • If an ELT that had previously been working, stops, please use the "Request External Learning Tool" form to provide information to help with trouble shooting, including a course (i.e. ENGL-101-01) were you are trying to use the tool.
     
  • If digital materials provided via book adoption are not showing up properly, please use the Troubleshooting digital materials guide first.  If they still do not show up properly, please use the "External Learning Tool" form to submit a request for assistance.
