How to Deliver Brillium Assessments to Thinkific Students

When creating a Brillium integration, it is a good practice to create a separate workspace for the assessments that will exchanging data with external paltforms. This is not required, but can reduce the effort required to maintain and organize the assessments that will be accessed through another platform versus assessments accessed directly or through other forms of integration, such as Zapier, Learning Management Systems, HRIS systems, or websites).

Create a Workspace

1. Select the Settings () icon
2. Select Workspaces
3. Right-click on the Workspace name that you wish to add a Workspace. This will add a Workspace below the selected Workspace in the hierarchy.
4. Select "Add Workspace" from the drop-down menu that appears.
5. Enter a Workspace name

Respondent Fields are used to collect demographic information for students that complete your assessments. When integrating Brillium data with a Thinkific account, this information needs to include additional Thinkific data beyond name and email address. Some of this information is sent by Thinkific to ensure the proper student score is associated with the correct Thinkific student.

Thinkific automatically populates four Brillium Respondent fields with student information to help Brillium send data back to the correctly matching student when an assessment is completed. Configuration of Respondent Fields is a process which only needs to take place ONCE for each Workspace used for Thinkific exam integration.

To configure Respondent Fields:

1. Select the gear icon and choose Respondent Fields from the menu that appears.
2. From the Predefined Set dropdown list, select Thinkific
3. If results already exist in your Brillium Workspace, a warning message may appear. Selecting the Confirm button on the warning page will save the change.

You will now see that the Thinkific data fields are configured and ready. The next step is to create a Brillium assessment (if you do not already have one).

In addition to a Unique ID, each Brillium assessment has an Assessment Key (referred to as an “Exam Password” in Thinkific). Like the Unique ID, this is automatically generated when an assessment is created but can be changed, if desired.

To change the Assessment Key, choose the Properties tab in Assessment Builder and select the Change button.

Select the Requirements tab.

The Requirements tab is where the Introduction information, Agreement Terms, Login Page demographic fields, and Assessment Logout Options are defined. In Assessment Builder, Logout Options tell Brillium where to return the student after the assessment is completed.

When using Brillium with Thinkific, students that have completed an assessment will typically be directed back to Thinkific. This action will also confirm to the student that the assessment results are properly received and processed by Thinkific for the related Exam lesson. This is accomplished by customizing the Logout button and associated action under the Assessment Logout Options.

1. Navigate to the Assessment Logout Options section of the Requirements tab.
2. Next to Button Action, select Web Link.
3. Change the Button Label as desired (i.e. “Return to the Course”, see below for further explanation).
4. In the Link After Assessment field, enter the specific link back to the exam defined in the Thinkific course player. This is the URL for the Thinkific page where the student clicked the button to begin the exam.
5. Select Save.

Select the Feedback tab.

The Feedback tab is where the end of assessment Pass or Fail feedback summary are defined. When creating a test, quiz, or certification exam in Brillium, a Passing Score for the assessment must be defined.

To set the passing score, enter the score percentage number in the Passing Score field on the Feedback tab. The number must be between 1 and 100.

Select the Integration tab.

The Integration tab is where parameters are defined to indicate where Brillium will send results once the assessment is completed. There are several integration methods available in Brillium, but to send student assessment results to Thinkific, the POST-FORM method must be used.

To define assessment integration parameters for an assessment, perform the following steps:

1. For Integration Method, select POST – Form from the dropdown list
2. The Link Password field may be left blank (see additional information under the Optional Assessment Builder Settings section of the Integration using HTTP POST and GET knowledge article.
3. For Postback Method, select Blind Post from dropdown list
4. The Postback URL field defines the Thinkific provided URL for Brillium to send the assessment results. This is typically in the form: “https://ENTER-YOUR-DOMAIN.thinkific.com/brillium_notify”
5. Select Save.
