D2L Brightspace + Agentic OS Integration

Deploy purpose-built AI agents directly inside D2L Brightspace β€” on your infrastructure, under your control.

ibl.ai Agentic OS connects with D2L Brightspace to give institutions a full AI agent platform that runs on their own infrastructure. Build, deploy, and manage specialized AI agents without surrendering data ownership or accepting vendor lock-in.

Unlike generic AI add-ons, Agentic OS agents are purpose-built with defined roles β€” advising, tutoring, grading support, content delivery β€” and wired directly into Brightspace workflows via LTI and open APIs.

Every agent your institution deploys stays on your servers, governed by your policies, and compliant with FERPA, HIPAA, and SOC 2 requirements from day one.

Architecture

Agentic OS connects to D2L Brightspace through a secure middleware layer using LTI 1.3, Brightspace Data Sets (BDS), and REST APIs. Agent logic runs on customer-owned infrastructure while reading and writing back to Brightspace in real time or on a scheduled basis.

Setup Guide

1

Provision Agentic OS on Your Infrastructure

2–4 hours

Deploy the ibl.ai Agentic OS runtime on your cloud or on-premises environment. Use the provided Helm charts or Docker Compose templates to complete the base installation.

  • Kubernetes cluster or Docker-compatible host
  • Minimum 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM for production
  • Outbound HTTPS access to D2L Brightspace tenant
2

Register an OAuth 2.0 Application in Brightspace

30 minutes

Create a new API application in the D2L Brightspace admin panel to generate client credentials. Assign the required scopes for users, enrollments, grades, and content.

  • D2L Brightspace System Administrator access
  • OAuth 2.0 client ID and secret
3

Configure the Brightspace API Connector

30 minutes

Enter your Brightspace tenant URL and OAuth credentials into the Agentic OS admin console. Run the connection test to verify read and write access to course and user data.

  • Brightspace tenant URL
  • OAuth 2.0 client credentials from Step 2
4

Register Agentic OS as an LTI 1.3 Tool

1 hour

Add ibl.ai Agentic OS as an external learning tool in Brightspace using LTI Advantage. Configure deep linking and grade passback to enable full two-way integration.

  • LTI 1.3 tool registration credentials from Agentic OS
  • Brightspace LTI tool admin permissions
5

Build and Configure Your AI Agents

2–8 hours depending on agent complexity

Use the Agentic OS visual builder to define agent roles, knowledge bases, and trigger conditions. Assign agents to specific Brightspace courses, org units, or user roles.

  • Agentic OS admin access
  • Defined agent use cases and knowledge sources
6

Test, Monitor, and Go Live

1–2 days

Run agents in sandbox mode within a Brightspace test course. Review logs in the Agentic OS dashboard, validate data flows, then promote agents to production org units.

  • Brightspace sandbox or test org unit
  • Agentic OS monitoring dashboard access

Capabilities Unlocked

Purpose-Built Agent Deployment

Design and deploy AI agents with specific roles β€” advisor, tutor, grader, onboarding guide β€” directly inside D2L Brightspace courses and org units.

Real-Time Learner Event Processing

Agents respond instantly to Brightspace activity events such as quiz submissions, content views, and discussion posts to deliver timely, contextual interventions.

Automated Grade Passback

Agent-assessed activities and AI-scored interactions write results directly back to the Brightspace gradebook via LTI Advantage grade services.

Institution-Owned Infrastructure

All agent logic, conversation data, and model configurations run on your servers. No learner data leaves your environment without your explicit authorization.

Multi-Agent Orchestration

Coordinate multiple specialized agents across departments and courses from a single Agentic OS control plane, with shared context and unified audit logs.

Open API Extensibility

Extend agent capabilities by connecting Agentic OS to Banner, PeopleSoft, SIS platforms, or custom institutional data sources alongside Brightspace.

Enabled Use Cases

AI Academic Advisor Inside Brightspace

Academic Advising

Deploy an advising agent that reads enrollment and progress data from Brightspace and proactively guides students on course selection, deadlines, and degree requirements.

Automated Early Alert and Intervention

Student Success

Agents monitor Brightspace engagement signals and trigger personalized outreach to at-risk learners before they disengage, reducing dropout rates at scale.

Instructor Workload Automation

Faculty and Instruction

AI agents handle routine grading support, FAQ responses, and assignment feedback drafts within Brightspace, freeing instructors for high-value teaching interactions.

Corporate Training Agent Deployment

Corporate Learning and Development

Enterprise training teams use Agentic OS to deploy role-specific coaching agents inside Brightspace training portals, delivering personalized upskilling at scale.

Onboarding and Orientation Automation

Enrollment and HR

New student or employee onboarding agents guide users through Brightspace orientation courses, answer questions in real time, and track completion milestones automatically.
