Blackboard: Adding LTI 1.3 Links

Note: Before adding LTI 1.3 links to a course, Credo InfoLit must be installed in your institution's Blackboard system as an LTI Tool Provider with a Placement, as described here: Blackboard LTI 1.3 Tool Set Up.

Skip to Ultra Instructions for Adding Content

1. Navigate to the course where you want to add the link. Select “Content.”
2. Choose the “Build Content” Drop Down and then select the name of the placement you created.
3. Selecting the Placement will launch the deep linking menu. Select the links that you want to embed in the course.
4. The selected content will appear at the bottom of the Content section.

Optional Steps for Graded Objects only (skip to Ultra instructions re Graded Objects)

The Deep Link will automatically carry over the point value for graded materials (i.e. quizzes) from the Credo platform. If you want to assign a different point value or adjust any of the grading details you can follow these steps:

1. Test launching the graded content you have added (you do not need to take the quiz) - this will ensure a gradebook column is created. 
2. Navigate to the Full Grade Center.                                                                                                                                                         
3. Find the assessment listing and select Edit Column Information.
4. If you wish to change the point value, do so by adjusting the Points Possible.
5. When settings are complete, Submit. Item is now ready for use by students.
