The OSUN Identity Management System allows users from across the network to authenticate using their institutional identity provider. The system is deployed, configured, and integrated with OSUN partners identity providers.
The system allows administrators to create accounts for users outside integrated partners’ identity providers. Authentication is based on per-session tokens sent to the user’s email.
Brightspace D2L is a fully-fledged university learning management system and a key component of the OSUN connected learning system. Brightspace supports the LTI interoperability educational standard, which allows it to be securely integrated with other system components. The Brightspace Course Publisher Tool allows for an LTI based integration between OSUN partners’ preexisting learning management systems (a Moodle and Canvas integrations have already been implemented) and OSUN Brightspace. When using the course publisher tool students are enrolled in a course through the institutional LMS and have access through the LTI Course publisher link to the corresponding OSUN Brightspace Course.
