Brightspace IntegrationHub is an integrated app catalog that enables users to easily discover partner solutions. For example, Panopto enables you to record, upload, and share video directly from within IntegrationHub. Similarly, Zoom helps your organization connect internally and externally with flawless video communications, chat, and webinars. Users can find apps by keyword search, or by browsing app categories or viewing all apps by segment (for example, K-12, Higher Ed, or Enterprise).
Brightspace IntegrationHub is integrated with Brightspace Learning Environment as a Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) external learning tool.
Users can also browse directly to the Brightspace IntegrationHub site without launching Brightspace Learning Environment.

Submit a review of the application if you are already using it in your organization.
IntegrationHub badges
D2L uses the following badges to provide additional information when viewing apps:
-

From discovery to installation
Once you have identified a solution in the IntegrationHub, administrators with the Create and Manage Brightspace Apps and Manage LTI Tools permissions can install and configure the tool using a unified workflow. This consolidated experience brings LTI 1.3 registration, deployment, and link management into a single view, replacing the need to navigate between disparate admin tools.
Key benefits of installing via the Brightspace Apps workflow include:
- Dynamic Registration: Automate the exchange of security keys and URLs between Brightspace and the tool provider.
- Data Access Transparency: Review a summary of exactly what information (such as user names or classlists) the app will access before finalizing the installation.
- Unified Management: Manage all LTI extensions and launch links from one central location.
