Note: The following requires that you have an LMS integration with CompTIA already configured in your LMS. If you are interested in setting this up, please contact your Sales representative, who can get you in touch with our integration team. For more info on the configuration process, see our other articles on LMS integration.
Creating Learn or Learn+Labs LTI links in Blackboard Ultra
In your Blackboard Ultra course, navigate to Content, and click the Add Content button and select Content Market. (If you already have content in your course, you'll instead click the small plus sign at the top or bottom of your current content list).
Toward the bottom of the Content Market screen, under Institution Tools, find and select the card for CertMaster Learn or CertMaster Learn+Labs. After a few seconds, the content selector will appear. Depending on when you set up your integration (or your LMS Admin's preferences), your tool title may vary.
- Note: If your institution transitioned from using separate tools for Learn and Labs to using the combined Learn+Labs tool, you may see multiple tools with CertMaster Learn or CertMaster Labs in the name. The Learn-only and Labs-only tools only exist to maintain legacy connections, and you should always select the combined Learn+Labs option if it is available.
Check each item that you’d like to create a link to, and click Submit at the bottom.
For each asset selected, an LTI Link will appear in the course. If any of the selected assets are gradeable (Practice Questions, PBQs, Assessments, and Labs), a gradebook column for it will also be created in the Blackboard Gradebook. On student completion, grades will be sent from our platform to Blackboard within seconds.
Other CertMaster Learn functionality from the native platform (like the Boost Dashboard and Group Reporting) is still available to integration customers, though Group Reporting does require manually setting up each Group.
You can navigate the content selector more easily by clicking the blue header bars to expand or contract the sections you’re interested in.
Though they don’t appear in the content selector, you can also create links to other CertMaster Learn assets, like the Learning Plan page, Flashcard games, or the Boost Dashboard for Instructors. For more info on how to do this, reach out to your CompTIA integration specialist.
