The InTech Team strongly recommends using the Existing Activities method to add bulbs to Brightspace. This method ensures optimal PlayPosit functionality.

Learner Experience Options
- Self Paced - Choose this option if you want learners to take the Bulb individually, on their own device, at their own pace (most commonly used).
- Live Broadcast - Choose this option if you want learners to complete the Bulb synchronously in class. Learn more: Broadcast with an LMS (opens in a new tab).
Sync Grades to LMS (Learning Management System) Options
- Yes - Grades will be synced to the D2L Gradebook once learners complete the Bulb.
- No - Grades will not be synced to the D2L Gradebook.

Select the Link button. This will link the Bulb to the HTML page and return you to the Create a File page. The Bulb has now been added via Insert Stuff to the HTML page.
Note
Please be aware that the grade item for the graded Bulb assigned with Insert Stuff will show up in the Brightspace Gradebook after at least one learner launches the bulb. To avoid this, you could take the Bulb first with a test student. To request a test student to enroll in your course sites, please email intech@arizona.edu.
Brightspace will default to exclude the grade item from the final grade calculation. To include the grade in the final grade calculation, edit the grade item settings. Learn more: Organize and Manage Gradebook: Edit Grade Items. Make sure the option Exclude from Final Grade Calculation is unchecked for the grade item associated with the Bulb.
