Existing D2L Integrations

Integrations

DePaul offers a wide range of third-party external tools to supplement teaching in D2L courses. These tools are not part of the DePaul D2L LMS package, hence they are not managed by DePaul. However, most of these tools can be integrated into a course site through single-sign-on links.

Some of the integrations available to DePaul faculty are supported by the University. Others will require instructors to work with the support offered by the integration company. See the list of existing integrations for specific information on how to receive support for an integrated tool.

Review Process

DePaul must comply with federal laws and regulations and be responsible for any third parties that create or manage education records on DePaul’s behalf. The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) establishes requirements for protecting students’ education records, and The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) establishes requirements for the accessibility of DePaul’s resources.

To protect our students, our faculty, and our institution, to ensure the integrity of the learning management system and compliance with federal regulations, DePaul performs a standard review of all third-party and cloud-based tools prior to integration. The approval process includes a review of technical compatibility, accessibility, security, and the vendor’s terms and conditions.

The time needed to complete an integration depends on the technical complexity of the task and vendor compliance. Once it is approved, it can be integrated with D2L. The ideal lead time is 4 to 6 weeks in advance. All integrations are subject to review by our security team.
