Before We Get Started:
You must be a Blackboard Administrator to complete the integration process. Blackboard administrators will have a "System Admin" tab on their top navigation bar.
Step 1: Add Edlink as a REST API Connection
To connect Edlink to Blackboard, follow these steps:
- Log into your Blackboard admin account.
- Click "System Admin", then "Integrations", and finally "REST API Integrations."
- Click "Create Integration" and paste in the following Edlink Application ID:
db1de065-8d3a-4641-9b2b-e3d8b5fbd92a - Under "Learn User", use your own account or create a new one.
- Set "End User Access" to Yes.
- Set "Authorized to Act as User" to Yes.
Click Submit to complete the integration setup in Blackboard.
Step 2: Complete the Integration
The learning app you're connecting to should have provided you with an integration link like this:https://ed.link/integrate/abc456789-efg456-123456
If you don't have this link, contact support@ed.link or create a support ticket for assistance.
Follow These Steps:
- Click the integration link provided by your learning app.
- Create an Edlink account if you don't already have one.
If you've connected an app to Edlink before, log in with your existing account.
- Select Blackboard from the list of available data sources.
- Choose your preferred data storage region.
- Click Connect and sign into your Blackboard admin account.
- Click Validate Configuration, then click Continue Setup once your configuration is validated.
Well Done!
You're now finished. Your organization's data will appear in the dashboard within 24 hours.
