Note: 

  • The Interactivity Blackboard integration is only available for some users. If you do not see the integration tool from the external tool list, please contact your LMS admins.
  • If interactive videos or playlists are assigned directly to Interactivity Classes and then added to the LMS course via links or embed codes, they will not be connected to the LMS course. This means grades will not be sent to the LMS gradebook, and learners will need to log in to their WeVideo accounts manually rather than accessing the interactive content directly within the LMS.  To ensure learners can access the interactive assignment directly from the LMS course and that grades can be synced to the LMS gradebook, please follow the steps in this article to assign the interactive content to the LMS course using the WeVideo Interactivity Integration.

Update available points for the assignment. Points available in Blackboard default to the values set in Interactivity. If points are updated in Blackboard, learners’ grades automatically convert from the points earned in Interactivity to points available in Blackboard.

Example: If a learner receives 5 out of 10 points in Interactivity and the assignment is set to 100 points in Blackboard, the learner’s score converts to 50 out of 100 in Blackboard.

Update the due date for the assignment

Manage link blackboard.webp

Navigate to the assignment in the LMS and click the Monitor button to launch the WeVideo in a new tab.

Click the Interactive Videos tab at the top to view the class's interactive videos.

Click the thumbnail of the interactive video and select the Edit Assignment option.

 

Update the assignment's due date, then click Update.

Monitor learner grades from Blackboard

Sync grades to Blackboard gradebook

If the interactive videos or playlists only contain auto-graded interactions (multiple choice, check-all, fill-in-the-blank), learners’ grades are synced to the Blackboard gradebook automatically upon assignment completion.

If there are manually graded free-response interactions in the videos or instructors have edited learners’ points on the monitor page, manually sync the most updated grades to Blackboard.

Adjust points Blackboard.webp

Launch the monitor page for the assignment and assign points to learners.

Sync all grades blackboard.webp

Click Sync All Grades to send the updated grades to Blackboard. 

Integration limitations

Grade items appear in Blackboard’s gradebook once a learner launches the assignment. Instructors can also launch the assignment through Student Preview to have the grade item appear in the gradebook.
