After setting up your OWLv2 course, create links from Brightspace® to activities or other content in OWLv2. Linked graded activities are included in the Brightspace gradebook unless you choose to exclude them.
Note Category scores can not be
synced to Brightspace.
Before adding links to OWLv2 activities, make sure your OWLv2 course is set up the way you want it.
- Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your OWLv2 course.
- Configure assignment settings such as grading, attempts, feedback, time limits, due
dates, point
values, and grade categories.
Best Practice Use consistent assignment settings and a consistent schedule
for due dates and times.

links because they are not just web links but allow data to be exchanged
between Brightspace and OWLv2.
