How K16 works with Brightspace.

Protect

Own an independent Brightspace data warehouse

DataX creates a secure, read-only copy of your Brightspace data in a warehouse you control. When Brightspace APIs throttle or the LMS is unavailable, you still have searchable access to course and student-level information.

  • Read-only API connection with no disruption to Brightspace users
  • Course, enrollment, submission, and activity data in one place
  • Reporting and analytics outside Brightspace native limits

How it works

How the Brightspace integration works

A secure, read-only connection to Brightspace keeps your data flowing into the Scaffold Platform without disrupting teaching or learning.

  1. Step 01

    Connect

    K16 establishes a secure, read-only API connection to your Brightspace environment. No plugins or course-level changes are required.

  2. Step 02

    Capture

    Course content, student activity, submissions, files, and gradebook data are extracted and stored in K16's independent, governed data warehouse.

  3. Step 03

    Access & Restore

    Search, report, and restore individual Brightspace courses, content, or records directly back into Brightspace—on demand and on your timeline.

Partner perspective

Brightspace Archiving was much faster than cold storage. It's easier to retrieve what you need, whether it’s content or student data; it’s great to have backups of backups. We’ve had a really good experience with having Scaffold Archiving as our archiving system–it’s so helpful.
