How do I connect Gateway to Blackboard with a LTI Connection?

Prior to being able to connect your LTI links in Blackboard, your IT administrators must first add Carolina Science Online (CSO) in Blackboard as a LTI Tool Provider/External Learning Tool Provider. Please see “How to set up Carolina Science Online as a new tool provider in Blackboard?” for assistance on this step.  

The set-up process may differ slightly depending on the version of Blackboard you use (Learn, Ultra, etc). 

• Click the “+” icon above the Course Menu or select the “Build Content” dropdown menu. 

• Click the “Web Link” option. 
• Give the new content item a name. 
• Enter the launch URL for the Gateway resource you want to add. 
  • If you cannot locate your URL, contact our support team at distancelearning@carolina.com for assistance. 

• Check the box “This link is to a Tool Provider”. 

• Under Enable Evaluation, select “Yes” if you want to grade the pre-lab assessment; select “No” if you want to only grade the lab notebook files from students as a separate submission. 
  • If you selected “Yes”, fill in the evaluation fields. 

• Check the box for “Open in New Window” 
• “Save” or “Save and Publish” the item.
