What Stacksync syncs in D2l Brightspace.

These objects sync between D2l Brightspace and any connected system, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution. Custom fields are picked up from the live schema where D2l Brightspace exposes them.

Users
User accounts in the Learning Platform (lp) component; created, read, updated, and deleted through the Valence API and typically synced two-way with an SIS or HRIS.
Enrollments
Links between Users and Org Units; enroll/unenroll and batch-enrollment routes let rosters be written from an upstream system and read back for reporting.
Org Units
The org structure — course offerings, sections, departments, and semesters; read for hierarchy and created/updated to provision courses from a database.
Grades
Grade objects, categories, schemes, and per-user grade values in the Learning Environment (le) component; values can be read out and written back onto the gradebook.
Content (Modules, Topics, and User Progress)
Course content structure plus per-user completion; progress is read into a warehouse and topics can be created and updated via the API.
Quizzes
Quiz objects and per-user attempts and results; attempt data is read out for engagement and completion analytics.
Assignments (Dropbox)
Dropbox folders, submissions, and feedback; submission and evaluation data is read into reporting systems and feedback can be written back.
Groups and Sections
Group categories, groups, and section membership within an org unit; enrollments are read and written to keep cohort assignments aligned.
API surface

How Stacksync connects to D2l Brightspace.

The connector runs on D2l Brightspace's native API. Stacksync manages authentication, rate limits, retries, and schema changes so your team does not maintain integration code.

Connection
Brightspace (Valence) REST API split into independently-versioned Learning Platform (lp) and Learning Environment (le) components, plus the Data Hub / Data Export Framework and Brightspace Data Streams
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 authorization-code grant against the D2L auth service (auth.brightspace.com); a registered app holds a client ID and secret with per-scope grants (group:resource:action, e.g. users:userdata:read), short-lived access tokens, and refresh tokens
Change detection
Polling Valence endpoints with date/bookmark filters, differential Brightspace Data Sets (BDS) bulk exports for changed rows via the Data Hub, and Brightspace Data Streams webhooks (xAPI activity events) for near-real-time signals
Rate limits
Per-caller token-bucket credit scheme; each route costs credits, responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and over-quota calls return HTTP 429. D2L can adjust per-route credit costs.

Use cases

What teams run on the D2l Brightspace connector.

D2L Brightspace is the learning management system of record for universities, colleges, K-12 districts, and corporate L&D teams, owned by LMS administrators, instructional-technology staff, and registrar/SIS teams. It holds the authoritative record of who is enrolled in what and how they performed: Users, course Enrollments, Org Units (course offerings, sections, semesters), Grades, Content progress, and Quiz and Assignment results. Downstream analytics, SIS, and HRIS systems all need to read from and write back to it.

  • LMS administrators
  • Instructional technologists / EdTech teams
  • Registrar / SIS teams
  • Institutional research and data engineering
  • Corporate L&D operations

  1. Two-way sync of Users and Enrollments between Brightspace and an SIS or HRIS so new learners and their course rosters stay aligned without manual CSV imports.

  2. Write Grades reconciled in a warehouse back onto Brightspace grade objects, and read grade values out for transcript and completion reporting.

  3. Provision Org Units such as course offerings and sections, then enroll learners from an operational database when a cohort or class is created upstream.

  4. Pull Content user progress and Quiz attempt results into a Postgres warehouse for engagement and completion analytics.

  5. Sync Assignment (Dropbox) submissions and feedback into a reporting database or downstream review tool.

  6. Two-way sync of Users and Enrollments between Brightspace and an SIS or HRIS so new students and hires, plus their course rosters, stay aligned without manual CSV imports or bulk-upload jobs.

FAQ

D2l Brightspace connector FAQ

What can I sync with the D2l Brightspace connector?

D2l Brightspace's core objects — Users, Enrollments, Org Units, Grades and custom fields — can sync with any of 302 other systems. Every integration is real-time and bidirectional, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution.

How does Stacksync connect to D2l Brightspace?

Via Brightspace (Valence) REST API split into independently-versioned Learning Platform (lp) and Learning Environment (le) components, plus the Data Hub / Data Export Framework and Brightspace Data Streams, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 authorization-code grant against the D2L auth service (auth.brightspace.com); a registered app holds a client ID and secret with per-scope grants (group:resource:action, e.g. users:userdata:read), short-lived access tokens, and refresh tokens. Changes are detected as follows — polling Valence endpoints with date/bookmark filters, differential Brightspace Data Sets (BDS) bulk exports for changed rows via the Data Hub, and Brightspace Data Streams webhooks (xAPI activity events) for near-real-time signals. Stacksync manages rate limits, retries, and schema changes automatically.

Is the D2l Brightspace connector two-way?

Yes. Changes made in D2l Brightspace propagate to the connected system and vice versa, in milliseconds. One-way flows are also supported when a direction should stay read-only.

How long does a D2l Brightspace integration take to set up?

Most D2l Brightspace integrations go live in minutes: authenticate D2l Brightspace and the other system, pick objects and fields, and enable the sync. No code and no infrastructure to manage.

Is D2l Brightspace data secure in transit?

Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR and HIPAA compliant. D2l Brightspace data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means records are not retained after a sync operation.
