Best Of

Thanks for taking the time to review and respond to my post, Stefanie!

We did our due diligence and attempted some tests with the LTI Link ID via the API as you suggested (we do make use of the D2L API extensively already), but the content we export to the LMS are then marked as "External Learning Tool" and the link attempts to redirect back to our web application, which is not at all the desired behavior.

I appreciate the point of view on urls being subject to change, we are aware of that possibility. It is also possible for the D2L API to update/change over time, granted that would be documented and appear in change logs that we periodically review. But either way, we would need to alter code to account for that…but neither of those things are the current issue we are facing here.

Quizzes, Assignments, and Discussions all need to export as the proper types for our integration to work. The real problem we have, which was not addressed in the response above is that all of the institutions we work with on D2L produce the types of content (Quizzes, Assignments, and Discussions) with an associated Activity ID. The problem we are facing currently is not a malformed url. It is an issue with an existing activity in the LMS having an Activity ID as null. Regardless of our current use-case, I would like to get more information from the D2L Development team about the particular configurations/settings a system admin would make on their end to even allow things like Assignments and Discussions to be created without a value in the Activity ID field. How is that controlled?

Is there someone you could connect me with on that team to discuss how that is possible? Or is their documentation you can point me to?

The only mention of it I have found so far is here:

Thanks again for looking into this.
