This article will walk you through the process of creating a link in your D2L course that takes students to a specific assignment in LiveText.
NOTE: If you would like to use the Grade Return feature, which allows grades submitted in a LiveText assignment to be passed back to the D2L gradebook, students must click the link in D2L and submit the LiveText assignment. If a student goes directly to www.livetext.com and submits the assignment, their grade will not pass back to D2L.
