How do I use Blackboard Ultra course copy with my Soomo webtext?

Whether you are copying from a master course or a previous term, the process for connecting your Blackboard Ultra course to your Soomo webtext is the same. Simply copy your course content, and the webtext links will come with it.

Note: The webtext will automatically link if you are using the same webtext title as the course you are copying from. If you are not using the same webtext title this term, you will need to delete the copied links and use the standard linking instructions for the new course shell.

Copy the course content

1. In your new course, navigate to the Course Content.

2. From the three-dot menu on the right, select Copy Items.

3. In the panel that appears, select the course you want to copy from, then click Start Copy. This initiates a full course copy, which includes all of your webtext links and associated gradebook items.

Note: Blackboard recommends a full course copy for LTI-integrated content like Soomo webtexts to ensure all functionality is preserved.

The copy will run in the background. You will receive a notification once the process is complete.

Once the import is complete, your webtext links will appear in the Blackboard Ultra course. You can click on any webtext link to confirm the connection and manage the due dates in the webtext.
