Note

In each step of this procedure, make sure there are no leading or trailing spaces in the text you copy and paste from this page. Otherwise, the integration might not work.

Step 1. Sign in to MATLAB and Simulink Online Courses as an LMS Administrator

Note

Only License Administrators can perform integrations. If you are an LMS Administrator at your university, contact your License Administrator to either delegate you as a License Administrator, or do the integration on your behalf. If you need help identifying who your License Administrator is, or if they need help in delegating access to you, contact Install Support.

Sign in at the URL https://matlabacademy.mathworks.com/ and then click LMS Integration. Alternatively, you can access the page directly at https://matlabacademy.mathworks.com/lti_credentials.

After you sign in, click Add Deployment. Select MATLAB and Simulink Online Courses in the Product drop-down list and Blackboard (Ultra or Original) in the Platform drop-down list.

Step 2. Sign in to Blackboard as LMS Administrator

Sign in to your university’s instance of Blackboard (either Ultra or Original) as a user with administrator privileges, specifically the ability to register a new LTI 1.3/Advantage tool. The URL of the login page might look similar to this example: https://bd-partner-a-ultra.blackboard.com/ultra.

You can review the Placements for MATLAB and Simulink Online Courses in the list of LTI Tool Providers by locating MATLAB and Simulink Online Courses LTI 1.3 and choosing "Manage Placements."

Step 5. Manage Global Property Settings

1. While on the LTI Tool Providers list, click Manage Global Properties.

2. Under Feature Availability, set "Allow configured tool providers to post grades" to Yes.
