To get started linking the Soomo webtext to your course in Blackboard Ultra, 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.

Connect the webtext to a copied course

If you copy or import course content that includes webtext chapter links, your new course will automatically be linked. Click any webtext link in your new course to see what’s new, add notes, or manage due dates.

Note: If you are not using the same webtext title this term, you will need to delete the webtext links that were copied and use the linking instructions below for a new course shell.

Connect the webtext to a new course

Log in to your Blackboard Ultra course as an instructor and then click the + button within your course content and select Content Market.

Next, scroll down to Institutional Tools and click the Soomo Webtext Linking Tool. Please note that you will also see a Soomo Webtext Course Tool—we will not be using that tool in this step.

If you don’t see the Soomo tool here you can reach out to your LMS admin to have them install the integration with these instructions.

In the new tab that opens 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 Ultra course. Both you and your students will be able to access the webtext via these links.
