Why this helps

Assessment setup can stall while someone remembers to recreate the request in the course platform.

  • Cuts down on copying assessment requests.
  • Starts course preparation as soon as a qualifying issue arrives.
  • Keeps the quiz linked to the original plan.

  • 1Connect Linear and D2L Brightspace to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction for creating quizzes from qualifying assessment issues.
  • 3Choose the Linear Public Team Issue Created trigger and select a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test with one real assessment issue and review the quiz.
