Hi Andres,
Hopefully the following will help to point you in the right direction.
If want to connect from Power BI to the RESTful Valence API's using OAuth2 authentication, it appears you need to build a custom connector. Microsoft provide a GitHub Connector Sample covering how this could be achieved.

D2L Developer Platform documentation Setting up OAuth 2.0 authentication and other resources available here covers the Brightspace side for registering and connecting your application to Brightspace.

Using the PowerBI custom connector you need to:

• make the appropriate Data Hub API calls to request and download a ZIP file containing CSV files
• proces the datasets - unpack the ZIP file and process the CSV files therein

This following articles introduce using the Data Hub APIs to retrieve a Brightspace Data Set and gives a practical example using the process.

• How To Get Started With Data Hub's APIs: Advanced Data Sets
• How to get started with Data Hub's APIs: Brightspace Data Sets

Hope that helps!

Hi Jonathan,

As per the documentation: https://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/grade.html#put--d2l-api-le-(version)-(orgUnitId)-grades-(gradeObjectId)-values-(userId)

 when providing numeric grade values, you should make a JSON block that includes both the basic common properties and numeric:


... https://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/grade.html#Grade.IncomingGradeValue

The Comments and PrivateComments fields are expected to be in Rich Text format

Eg:

Data
{
// appropriate basic common properties here
"Comments": {
"Content": "Great job on the exam!" ,
"Type": "Text|Html"
},
"PrivateComments": {
"Content": "Nice" ,
"Type": "Text|Html"
},
"GradeObjectType": 1,
"PointsNumerator": 99
}

Can you please try sending JSON parameter for PUT call as above and see if API call is successful or not.

Thanks,

Sreelakshmi

Hi @jesse.s.165

Thanks for reaching out to the Brightspace Community.

Currently, allowing students to see feedback right after answering a question is impossible.

However, I checked our Product Idea Exchange site and could find this feature has already been requested and is currently in review:

• Quiz setting that allows students to see feedback for each question as they complete each question (D8953)

That said, I invite you to vote up this idea on our Product Idea Exchange site.

The Product Idea Exchange is designed for users like you to send direct submissions to our Product Development organization and has the following advantages:

• It allows you to receive direct updates on each request you submit
• It allows other community members to vote on ideas
• It allows other community members to contribute to and collaborate on each idea
• It ensures ideas that have the greatest impact on our clients and end users receive consideration for inclusion in future releases.

We look forward to hearing from you at the Product Idea Exchange!
