Below are the steps outlining the process you need to follow in order to utilize Peerceptiv within Bridges. 1. You MUST start on a page in Lessons, then go to Add Content and then Add External Tool. 2. Select Peerceptiv from the list of tools. 3. Input text into the designated field labeled Tool Title and then click Save. 4. The external tool will now appear in the Lessons tab. You can click on the assignment name. You should add/edit the name. Opting to Open in New Window is a preferable choice because it ensures that the current context within the original window remains uninterrupted. Please note: If you are using Peerceptiv for multiple assignments, please edit the assignment name to match each assignment name in the syllabus. Each Peerceptiv assignment MUST have its own link in Bridges for the grades to pass back correctly. 5. Click on the newly created link in the Lessons tool. The Create a Course screen will display. Click Create a New Course. DO NOT copy a course - it will not create individual assignment links in Bridges and grades will not be able to pass back for any of those assignments. Enter the information for your course, then click on the Create button. See Peerceptiv's Create a New Course article. 6. After you have created the corresponding course for your Bridges course, you can now select that course and begin to use Peerceptiv's assignment creation wizard to add a Peerceptiv assignment workflow, build your own assignment, or copy an assignment. 7. If you need access to previous student data, you can open Peerceptiv through your current Bridges course that is connected and then click on the fidget spinner icon. That will take you to your list of courses. You can also log in directly. Important: DO NOT add a Peerceptiv link to the left-side menu in your Bridges course. This will break the links for your other Peerceptv assignments in the Lessons tool, and it will block students from accessing all the assignments in the course.

Bridges (Sakai) Integrations LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) provides numerous opportunities for integrating third-party software into Bridges (Sakai) to enrich the learning experience. Many publishers and educational software providers often offer LTIs to enable these integrations into LMS’s (Learning Management Systems). They can, for example, offer seamless account management across systems, facilitate direct access to gradebooks or even integrate the application directly into Bridges. Installed LTIs Below is a list of LTIs currently installed and available in Bridges (Sakai): Cengage Hypothesis Law LibGuides Law Library Resources LinkedIn Learning - In Progress McGraw Hill Connect - In Progress Norton - Education Publisher Panopto Peerceptiv Perusall Poll Everywhere - In Progress PsycLearn Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences - In Progress SmartEvals Turnitin SimCheck Tutor.com Zoom Meeting Application Timelines/Policies LTI requests will be temporarily paused. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to plan accordingly. Third party software is not part of the Bridges (Sakai) software suite and therefore requires extensive review and testing prior to integration. In order to protect system data and to ensure system integrity, the review process also requires compliance with FERPA, ADA, as well as vetting of financial risks, legal requirements, security compliance and system limitations. The time between application and the installation also depends on factors such as tool complexity, vendor time, department availability and queue. On average, the process can take 3-6 months. Please plan your requests accordingly to accommodate this timeline. Application Please use the following form to provide any necessary details about installation request. The application will create a request outside of RWU’s ticketing system and you will receive a follow-up email. LTI Request Form For further assistance, please email id@rwu.edu
