Enhanced Admin Integration with D2L LMS (new!)

The latest integration with D2L LMS allows faculty to seamlessly access Noodle Factory tools directly from their D2L course pages.

The latest integration with D2L LMS allows faculty to seamlessly access Noodle Factory tools directly from their D2L course pages. This streamlined experience removes the need for separate login credentials or navigating to a different website, making it easier for faculty to adopt and use Noodle Factory.

Key Features of the Enhanced Integration:

Walter AI Admin Visibility: Walter AI Admin link now appears by default on all D2L course pages in the Nav Bar, providing quick access to Noodle Factory features.
Automated Setup of AI Tutors: On the first click of the Walter AI Admin for a specific course page, a new AI tutor agent is created. The system automatically maps the agent to that course/class ID, simplifying setup for faculty.
Content Integration: Faculty can leverage course content—including files, pages, and documents—within their D2L LMS as a knowledge base for their AI Tutor. This enables the AI Tutor to deliver course-relevant support to students.
Single Sign-On with LTI 1.3: Faculty can access the Noodle Factory admin portal without a separate login and password. The integration uses LTI 1.3 standards, providing secure, single-sign-on access through D2L.

FAQs:

1. Does this mean that there will be a separate agent for each course in D2L?

Yes, as long as the faculty clicks into Walter AI Admin from D2L course page - a new agent will be created. However, a single agent may be mapped to multiple courses. This is done by:

- Navigate to Users - Classes

- Add New Class

- Select the class you just added - Edit Class

- Add LMS integration - D2L - Course ID

2. Does faculty need to do anything to enable access for their students?

Yes, by default, Walter AI Tutor is hidden from students and faculty will need to enable Walter AI tutor on their D2L course page so students can access it directly from within the course. See link below.
