Asset Processor overview LMS
The DrillBit LTI Asset Processor connects DrillBit Plagiarism with D2L Brightspace as an LTI 1.3 Asset Processor. Once registered and deployed, DrillBit attaches to Brightspace assignments and automatically scans every file a student submits — the similarity report is then delivered straight back into the assignment, alongside the student’s submission.
How it differs from the External Tool integration
Brightspace exposes two LTI 1.3 paths for plagiarism services. The two are not interchangeable, so it’s worth picking deliberately:
- LTI External Tool – DrillBit is added as a standalone activity inside the course. Students click into the activity, submit through DrillBit’s own UI, and the similarity report is shown by DrillBit.
- LTI Asset Processor (this guide) – DrillBit is attached to a regular Brightspace assignment as a processor. Students submit through Brightspace as they normally would; DrillBit runs in the background, processes each submitted file, and writes the similarity score and a “Details” link back into the Brightspace gradebook view.
Choose the Asset Processor when you want plagiarism checks to feel native to Brightspace assignments — instructors continue grading through Brightspace and never need to leave it to view scores.
What this guide covers
- Asset Processor registration – register DrillBit in Brightspace under Manage Extensibility › LTI Advantage, set the redirect / login / keyset endpoints, enable the required extensions, and capture the Client ID.
- Asset Processor configuration – toggle the Brightspace integration on inside DrillBit, paste in the Client ID and tool details, then create the deployment and link in Brightspace and select the org units (courses) it should be available in.
- Using the Asset Processor – add DrillBit to a Brightspace assignment, configure plagiarism settings, and walk through the student, instructor, and admin views of the resulting similarity reports.
Prerequisites
- A Brightspace administrator account with access to Admin Tools › Manage Extensibility.
- A DrillBit administrator account that has the Brightspace tile enabled under Integrations.
- The list of Brightspace org units (courses) you want DrillBit available in — deployment is scoped to the org units you select.
DrillBit endpoints used during registration
You’ll need these exact URLs when registering the tool in Brightspace. They’re the same for every customer:
- Domain –
https://ltiap.drillbitplagiarismcheck.com - Redirect URL –
https://ltiap.drillbitplagiarismcheck.com/lti/launch - OpenID Connect Login URL –
https://ltiap.drillbitplagiarismcheck.com/lti/login - Target Link URI –
https://ltiap.drillbitplagiarismcheck.com/lti/launch - Keyset URL –
https://ltiap.drillbitplagiarismcheck.com/lti/jwks
Copy these once into a scratch document — you’ll paste them into Brightspace during the next step.
