Connect Blackboard

Before you start

You need to be a Blackboard system administrator and a CuraCourse organization owner or admin. These steps work for both Ultra and Original courses.

1. Create an activation code in CuraCourse

In CuraCourse, open your organization, choose LMS, then Create activation code. Under Add CuraCourse to your LMS, choose Blackboard. Copy the Client ID and the Custom parameter.

2. Add CuraCourse to Blackboard

1. Go to Administrator Panel → LTI Tool Providers.
2. Choose Register LTI 1.3/Advantage Tool and paste the client ID.
3. Set Tool Status to Approved.
4. Under Institution Policies, share the user's name, email, and course role.
5. Under Custom Parameters, paste the line from the CuraCourse page. It looks like curacourse_activation=ccl_….
6. Submit. Then add a Course content tool placement, and a Deep Linking content tool placement so instructors can add assignments.

There is nothing to fill in on the CuraCourse page for Blackboard.

3. Open CuraCourse once

As an instructor or administrator, open CuraCourse from a course. This connects your Blackboard to your organization.
