AI Overlay for D2L Brightspace Quizzes on Mac

D2L Brightspace is the LMS used by many Canadian and US universities, including a long list of community colleges. Brightspace quizzes integrate with Respondus LockDown Browser, Proctorio, and (less often) Honorlock for proctored delivery on Mac.

D2L Brightspace exposes a "Tools" extension point that proctoring vendors plug into. Respondus and Proctorio are the most common; Honorlock and IRIS Connect appear in newer deployments. None of them runs at a higher privilege than the underlying Apple capture stack. ScreenCaptureKit and CGWindowListCreateImage both honor window privacy. Fracture' overlay window has the flag set, so any vendor that captures through Apple's API receives frames without the overlay - which means all of them.

Insights is server-side - it analyzes your answer timing and patterns, not your screen. The overlay is invisible to it because Insights never tries to capture.

Exiting the quiz tab is a Brightspace event and is logged. Toggling the overlay does not exit the quiz; the overlay is a separate window.

No. Fracture is macOS-only. iPad has a different capture and window model.
