Before adding links to OWLv2 activities, make sure your OWLv2 course is set up the way you want it.
- Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your OWLv2 course.
- Configure assignment settings such as grading, attempts, feedback, time limits, due dates, point values, and grade categories.
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 OWLv2.
Open your Blackboard course.
Add OWLv2 content to your course.

If the Cengage tool is not shown under Build Content, see Can't Find Cengage Content in Blackboard.
