Warning

This feature was a closed pilot experiment. This feature is poorly documented and may not work properly.

To use Open edX course content in the Blackboard LMS, you add a new app to the course and then add external tool module items.

Note

This example relies on the use of a third-party tool. Because this tool is subject to change by its owner, the steps and illustrations provided here are intended as guidelines and not as exact procedures.

  1. In Blackboard, select your course.

  2. From the course control panel, select Customizations. In the Tool Availability section, verify that the LTI tool has been enabled.

  3. Open a Content Area page, and from the Build Content menu select Web Link.

  4. On the Create Web Link page, enter an identifying name and the URL for the edX content you want to include.

    The URL is the LTI URL that you determined for the course content.

    The Blackboard Create Web Link page with example name and URL values.

    For more information, see Determine Content Addresses when using Open edX as an LTI Provider.

  5. Review the content to verify that it appears as you expect.
