After you create your course, you will be provided with information related to Norton's Styles of Integration:
Choose your Style of Integration:
For graded assignments, you may choose to send individual assignment links (most popular), or product homepage links into your Brightspace course.
-
Choose individual assignment links if you want your students to access separate links for each assignment in Brightspace. This will create separate grade columns in the Brightspace gradebook for each assignment per student.
- Choose product homepage links if you want your student to have one link in Brightspace for each Norton product. This will create one grade column for each Norton product in the Brightspace gradebook per student. This grade is a cumulative average of all assignments for that product.
Step 12.
Select the Norton content links to send to Brightspace. Please note that the screen below may differ based on your selection to add Norton Assignment links or Homepage Links into your course.
Note: As you expand the product folders shown above, you may determine whether a gradebook column for an assignment is created within your Brightspace gradebook, or not. If LMS Grade Column is on, the link will be sent to the course and a gradebook column will be created with the specified LMS point value.
If you turn LMS Grade Column off, the link will be sent to the Brightspace course but no grade column will be created in the Brightspace gradebook.
Due dates can also be set for graded, individual assignment links.
Please also note that you may return to the Follett Willo Digital Delivery 1.3 tool to deploy additional Norton content into your Brightspace course at a later time. You do not have to select ALL content at once.
Step 13.
Click the Review button at the bottom of the screen. You'll see a summary of the links you selected. Confirm, and Send To Brightspace to deploy the Norton materials into your course.
Step 14.
Click Close window and navigate back to your Brightspace course.
Step 15.
The Norton courseware links that you selected will now appear in the Module area where you have been working. To add additional Norton links to your Brightspace course, click on the Follett Willo Digital Delivery 1.3 link to take you back to launching out to Norton as you did in Step 3.
