Integrating Unsupported Tools

Syracuse University's Blackboard system is configured to allow instructors to add unsupported tools if the vendor provides an LTI Integration. Ultra Course Instructors should follow Blackboard's instructions on Blackboard help page for LTI connections.

Please note that instructors needing support for tools integrated with this method should consult the vendor. ITS doesn't provide support for the use of tools added to Blackboard in this fashion.
