Instructors can assign interactive content to their learners through the D2L integration, and learners can complete the assignment directly in D2L with their grades synced to the gradebook. Please see more information about assigning interactive content through D2L.
Assign content to learners through D2L
There are three options to assign Bulbs and playlists to learners through D2L:
Option 1: Add existing

Monitor learners’ progress
For the content linked through the Add existing workflow, navigate to the content from the course and click Monitor on the manage link page to launch the monitor page.
For the content linked through the Insert stuff or Insert Quicklink workflow, open the page and click the hyperlink on the page to open the manage link page in a new tab.
If the content is linked to an assignment, open the assignment, select Edit Assignment, click on the hyperlink, and open it in a new tab.
Click Monitor to launch the monitor page.
On the monitor page, you can find learners’ names, scores, status, and responses to each question in this assignment. Please see this article for more information about the monitor page.
Sync grades to D2L gradebook
If the Bulb or playlists only contain auto-graded interactions (multiple choice, check-all-that-apply, fill-in-the-blank), learners' grades will be synced to the D2L gradebook automatically once they complete the assignment.
If there are manually graded free response interactions in the Bulbs or you have edited learners’ points on the monitor page, please follow the steps below to manually sync the most updated grades to D2L.
Launch the monitor page for the assignment and assign points to learners if needed.
Click the Sync Grades button on the top left of the window to send the updated grades to D2L.
