Guides LMS Integration Brightspace Asset Processor overview

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:

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
