Add a Link to Student Dashboard

After linking your Blackboard® and SAM courses, add a link to the student dashboard in the same way you add links to SAM activities. Students can use this link to access their purchases from the dashboard.

  1. Open your Blackboard course.
  2. Go to a content area in your course and open the Content Market.
    • Blackboard Original: Click Content > Build Content.
    • Blackboard Ultra: Click + > Content Market.
  3. Click the Cengage tool.

    A list of assigned activities for your linked SAM course is shown.

  4. At the bottom of the list of activities, select the Cengage Student Dashboard link.
  5. Click Confirm, review your selection, and click Save.
  6. 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 SAM course and activities.

If needed, you can reorganize the links in Blackboard.
