How does Edform work with Blackboard Learn?

Edform connects to Blackboard Learn with LTI 1.3, the standard Blackboard uses for external tools. Edform is registered with Blackboard, so your Blackboard administrator adds it once with Edform's Client ID. After that, you add Edform activities to your courses from the course content: + → Content Market in Ultra courses, or Build Content in Original courses: a picker with your Edform library opens inside Blackboard, you pick an activity, and Blackboard places it in the course with a Gradebook column. Students click it and land in Edform, signed in. Edform grades their answers and sends each student's best score to the Blackboard Gradebook. It works in Ultra and Original courses.

How to use Edform in Blackboard Learn

Your Edform library inside Blackboard

When you add Edform to a course, your Edform activities open right inside Blackboard. Search, pick one and press Add: Edform creates homework for this course and Blackboard adds the link with a gradebook column out of 100.

One click for students

Blackboard signs students in to Edform: no codes, no new passwords. The first time, Edform creates their account and puts them in the course's class. Edform also reads the course's student list, so the class is complete before anyone opens a link.

  • Single sign-on from Blackboard
  • Class matches the course
  • No join codes
