To get started linking your course in Blackboard to the Soomo webtext, follow the steps below. If you have any questions along the way, please don’t hesitate to contact our LMS specialist at lms@soomolearning.com.

Once your LMS has been connected to the webtext, you can use the following instructions to create the webtext links to add to your Blackboard course.

Log in to your Blackboard course as an instructor and then navigate to Content in the left-hand menu.

Hover over Build Content and select the Soomo Webtext Linking Tool.

You’ll see a list of webtexts to choose from that Soomo has prepared for you.

Select the webtext you’d like to link, then select to confirm this webtext for your course.

There will now be links to the webtext that match the Soomo grade items generated for your course in the Content section of your Blackboard course. Both you and your students will be able to access the webtext via these links.

Pro tip: After selecting the course to link, you may see a Blackboard page stating “The specified resource was not found, or you do not have permission to access it.” You can ignore this warning and return to your Blackboard course shell.

Navigate back to the content section using the menu on the left side of the course.

Hover over Tools and click More Tools. Then select Soomo Webtext Course Tool.

Now you can name the link. We suggest something like “Soomo Webtext.” Then set the available option to Yes to enable the webtext for your students, and then click Submit.

There will now be a link to the webtext within the Content section of your Blackboard course. Both you and your students will be able to access the webtext via this link.

Happy linking!
