Place an insight widget in Brightspace
Open Insight widgets in Rowseta and select a widget, then open Place in Brightspace. On phones, its label is Place. This tab supplies the values to copy. Register and test Rowseta in Brightspace first; its deployment must include the course’s org unit.
Create the Brightspace link
Section titled “Create the Brightspace link”- In Brightspace, go to Admin Tools > Manage Extensibility > LTI Advantage. Open the Rowseta registration and deployment, then create a link.
- Copy Suggested link name from Place in Brightspace into Name. Set Type to Widget.
- Copy Widget launch link into URL (Target Link URI).
Add the custom parameters
Section titled “Add the custom parameters”Copy both Name and Value for each pair from the tab:
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
rowseta_mode |
widget |
rowseta_placement_id |
The widget ID shown in the tab |
If Copy did not work. Select and copy the value instead. appears, copy the selected value by hand. If the link opens the full Rowseta app, compare both parameter names and values with Place in Brightspace. A typo can prevent the widget launch.
Add it to the homepage
Section titled “Add it to the homepage”Set Height to 50 px and save the link. Edit the Brightspace course homepage, add the widget with your link’s name, and save the homepage. The widget grows to fit its numbers. Some placements may not honour its height updates.
Test the launch
Section titled “Test the launch”Open the course homepage and wait for Computing metrics to become numbers. The setup checklist then marks Place it in Brightspace as Done. For a launch refusal, check the Brightspace setup. To read the widget, use an insight widget.
A Learner launch stays in the widget for permitted numbers and never opens the full Rowseta app, whatever the person’s saved role. Trying to open the app shows: Rowseta is for staff. Students can view their own numbers only in an insight widget. Widget details and student names need an Instructor launch. If an older launch no longer works, return to Brightspace and launch again.
Courses using this widget
Section titled “Courses using this widget”Open the workspace Courses tab to see Courses using this widget. A course appears after its first widget launch; removing the Brightspace link does not remove it. Rows show the course name and Course ID when the name is available; otherwise they show the ID. Check the usage count, search by course ID or name, and select Show more for another ten. If No course has opened this widget yet. appears, test the launch from a course. If No courses match your search. appears, change the search. If Could not load courses. appears, reload the page.
If “Starting a query machine. This can take a minute.” appears, the page keeps waiting and loads the courses on its own; no action is needed.
Rows show Last opened and Course settings. Uses defaults means no course overrides; changed settings show how many an instructor changed. When available, View opens a settings summary and Reset to defaults asks for confirmation. Reset keeps Must set parameter values and locked flag rules. See Roles and permissions.
Release a course in Evaluation
Section titled “Release a course in Evaluation”Evaluation has 3 course slots. An opened course uses one. If This Organization is using all 3 of its Evaluation course slots. appears, find a course you no longer need, select Release, then Release course. Releasing frees its slot and clears that course’s widget settings. Its next launch takes a slot and sets the widget up again if one is free. If Could not release the course. Try again. appears, retry the action.
