Adding Publisher and other Third Party Tools from the Content Market in Blackboard Ultra
Academic Computing has connect several learning tools such as LinkedIn Learning, McGraw Hill, and many more. We encourage you to explore the options by opening Content Market. If you are searching for a specific integration, please note that they are listed alphabetically.
Adding Content Market tools from the Course Content Page
On the Course Content page within your Ultra course, choose the Add Content button wherever you would like to add the LTI.
Select Content Market from the drop down menu.
Search for the tool you want to connect. The tools are listed alphabetically.
Select the Add icon in the bottom right corner of the tile to connect the tool to your course.
Follow the steps for the specific tool to finish setting up your LTI. Instructions for a few tools are provided in this Wiki, linked at the bottom of this page. Otherwise, consult your tool provider’s documentation.
In some cases, you will not see the option to add a connection to your course. This may be because the tool offers instructor-only functions, like the Accessibility Report which provides instructors with a detailed report on their course material accessibility score, or publisher content where you must build out the course on the publisher side and “push” the links to Blackboard. Each tool has unique instructions for setting up and connecting to the course, but in most cases you will use the Add button to make the connection.
Adding Content Market tools from a Document or other Text Editor
You can access the content market from any text editor in your Blackboard Ultra course. This means that you could connect to a Content Market tool from a discussion board, a document, or even an announcement!
In any text editor within your Ultra course, choose the Add Content button from the menu.
Select Content Market from the drop down menu.
Search for the tool you want to connect. The tools are listed alphabetically.
Select the Add icon in the bottom right corner of the tile to connect the tool to your course.
Follow the steps for the specific tool to finish setting up your LTI. Instructions for a few tools are provided in this Wiki, linked at the bottom of this page. Otherwise, consult your tool provider’s documentation.
You’ll notice that the list of tools in the Content Market is much smaller when accessed from a text editor. These are tools that can be embedded in a text editor, and are generally tools that enhance the content and learning experience in a way that integrates well with written text.

Below are links to the user guides from various publishers/ tools on how to build a connection between your Blackboard course and their systems.
