Add Links in Blackboard to CNOWv2 Activities
and Resources
After setting up your CNOWv2 course, create links
from Blackboard® to activities or other content in CNOWv2. Linked graded
activities are included in the Blackboard gradebook unless you choose to
exclude them.
Note Category scores can not be
synced to Blackboard.
Before adding links to CNOWv2 activities, make sure your
CNOWv2 course is set up the way you want it.
Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your CNOWv2 course.
Configure assignment settings such as grading, attempts, feedback, time limits, due
dates, point
values, and grade categories.
Best Practice Use consistent assignment settings and a consistent schedule
for due dates and times.
Links created in this way are sometimes called deep
links because they are not just web links but allow data to be exchanged
between Blackboard and CNOWv2.
Open your Blackboard course.
Go to a content area in your course and open the Content
Market.
A list of assigned activities for your linked CNOWv2 course is shown.
Click Select Content and select activities to include in your class.
Note
Selecting a group of activities does not select all activities in the
group. You must select each activity individually.
Expand or collapse the course outline if needed.
Graded activities that have already been added are marked . To avoid
duplicate activity links and gradebook columns, do not import the same activity
twice.
If needed, change gradebook syncing for specific activities.
By default, when you include a graded activity it is
added to the Blackboard gradebook.
To remove an activity from the gradebook, clear Add to Gradebook.
To sync an activity to the gradebook without creating an activity link, first select
Add to Gradebook and then clear the Add to
Course checkbox on the left.
Click Continue.
Blackboard Original: Review the settings, select where to put your
course links, and click Submit.
The content page displays
all the links you have added to your CNOWv2 course
and activities.
If needed, you can reorganize the links in Blackboard.
