If you would like to set up the Blackboard integration for an assignment, you will need a LTI-link. This LTI link is generated from Blackboard. Linking your assignment will allow your students to open the assignment through your LMS. Once the assignment has finished, you are also able to synchronise the results from within Ans. 

Create a link for an assignment with LTI 1.2
error_outline LTI 1.2 will be deprecated on the 27th of August 2023. If you currently have any LTI 1.2 integrations configured on university level, you can continue to use these until then. New LTI 1.2 integrations can no longer be configured on university level. We advise institutions to replace their LTI 1.2 integration to version 1.3 as soon as possible as IMS Global stopped supporting version 1.2 on June 30, 2022. You can find more information on how to setup LTI 1.3 here.

To create a LTI-link for an assignment, follow the steps below. 

  1. Set up the Blackboard integration on school level in Ans.
  2. Sign in to Blackboard.
  3. Click Courses in the menu at the top.
  4. Click on your course or use the search bar.
  5. Click Course content in the menu on the left.
  6. Click the drop-down button Build content and select Ans digital exam.
  7. Fill in a name and the number of points.
  8. Click Submit.
  9. Click on the LTI-link bar in the overview and you will be redirected to Ans.
  10. Select the assignment and click Create.
  11. The LTI-link is created. 
  12. If students click on the link in Blackboard, they will be redirected to the assignment in Ans. There is also a possibility to export the grades to your Blackboard automatically.
