Once you create an agent in Cogniti, you can embed this into your Brightspace course as an external tool activity to make it easier and more seamless for students to use your agent. This way, they don’t need to create an account, and can use your agents right where they are engaging with learning.
Note: To embed Cogniti into Brightspace, your Brightspace administrator will need to have added it as an LTI plugin. Ask them to get in touch with us to do so.

If successfully associated, a message will appear asking you to reload the page.
Reload the page and your agent will appear.
If you need to select a different agent, repeat the steps above to create a new activity.
