Edlink's Brightspace integration pulls data from Brightspace to facilitate automated rostering, course management, and assignment synchronization. The integration maps Brightspace objects to Edlink data models, ensuring seamless data flow between Brightspace and connected platforms.
Data Mapping
| Brightspace Entity | Edlink Entity |
|---|---|
| Organization | School |
| Enrollment | Enrollment |
| Course Offering | Class |
| Course Template | Course |
| User | Person |
| Semester | Session |
| DropboxFolder | Assignment |
| EntityDropbox | Submission |
Notes:
- Brightspace courses do not create sections within Edlink. Each offering is treated as an independent class.
- Brightspace user roles such as Teacher, Student, Administrator, and Observer are mapped to corresponding Edlink roles.
Key Considerations
- Independent Classes: Brightspace's course offerings are treated as distinct classes in Edlink, eliminating the need for sections or subdivisions within courses.
- Admin Filtering: Admin users are excluded from course enrollments by default to avoid over-representing them across courses.
