Before you start
- A credential group with its design.
- Administrator access in Hyperstack.
- A Brightspace administrator with Manage Extensibility.
Step 1: register Hyperstack in Brightspace
1
In Hyperstack, open the D2L Brightspace setup page
Click Add integration, then D2L Brightspace, then Integrate. Copy the Registration URL.
2
In Brightspace, go to Admin Tools, Manage Extensibility, LTI Advantage
Click Register Tool, choose Dynamic, paste the URL in Tool initiation registration endpoint and click Register.
3
Check the tool is Enabled
Open the tool. If Brightspace didn’t create them, add a deployment (choose the org units that can use Hyperstack, and send user names and emails) and a link of type Deep Linking Quicklink.
Step 2: add Hyperstack to a course
- In the course, open Content, click Existing Activities and choose Hyperstack.
- Hyperstack shows your credential groups: choose one and click Add to course.
- Use release conditions so the item opens only when the learner has finished the course.
Who gets a credential
Test with a student account (or your LMS’s “act as user”). Teacher and admin accounts never get a credential, and preview modes such as Canvas Student View have no real email.
What learners see
- Well done: their credential is ready, with View my credential. It is published at once and emailed to them. Opening the item again shows the same credential, never a second one.
- Email address needed: the LMS didn’t share their email, so nothing was issued. Ask your LMS admin to share names and emails with Hyperstack.
- Not set up yet: the item isn’t linked to a credential group. A teacher opens it and picks one.
