To add a Norton digital learning tool link, it is necessary for your Blackboard system administrator to enable the Norton digital learning tool as an LTI Tool Provider. Please confirm with your Blackboard system administrator that this has been done. If LMS integration is not possible or desired, please work with your Norton representative for set-up and delivery of course materials
> Product Homepage Blackboard Integration
> Open you Blackboard course
> Ensure “Edit Mode” is on
> Select the course content area in which you will place the Norton digital learning tool link from the course menu on the left side of your screen
> Hover over the “Build Content” drop-down menu and select “Web Link”
> In the “Name” field enter a descriptive name of the activity, (e.g., W. W. Norton, InQuizitive, Smartwork, ZAPS, etc.)
> In the “URL” field, enter the URL provided by your Norton representative
> The URL will look like: https://ncia.wwnorton.com/productname-BOOKCODE, where productname is replaced with the name of the Norton learning tool and BOOKCODE is replaced with the code for the book you are using
> Check the “This link is to a Tool Provider” box
> If you would like students’ grades to report back to your course’s gradebook, set the “Enable Evaluation” option to “Yes”
> Set the “Points Possible” to some non-zero value
> [Optional] Set the “Visible to Students” option to “Yes” if you’d like your students to be able to see the link in their views of the course site. If you select “No”, you will have to come back to the web link settings in the future and re-set this option to “Yes” when you would like your students to have access to the link
> [Optional] Select the calendar and clock icons in the “Due Date” field to set a due date and time for the activity. This will display the due date under the link in your course and will create an entry for the assignment in the Blackboard course calendar
> NOTE: Due date settings in Blackboard do not affect the Grade Accepted Until (GAU) settings in the Norton digital learning tool. GAUs are what determine the activity’s availability to students
> Ensure the “Open in New Window” option is set to “Yes”
> Set the “Permit Users to View this Content” option to “Yes”
> [Optional] Change “Track Number of Views” to “Yes” if you would like to see how many times the link has been clicked
> [Optional] Click the calendar and clock icons in the “Display After/Until” fields to set the dates/times for when the link will be available to students
> Leave the remaining “Standard Options” unchanged
> IMPORTANT: Do not enter any text in the “Description” field, due to a bug in Blackboard that will cause the connection to fail. As a workaround, you may include instructions for students at the top of your content area, or you may attach a file containing instructions
> Click “Submit”. The link will now appear in your content area and you should see a green “Success” banner at the top of your course page
> Create a student set
> Click the Norton tool link (e.g., InQuizitive, ZAPS, Smartwork etc.) you just created, which will launch the tool in a new browser tab
> Use your Norton instructor email address and password to sign in when prompted
> If you do not have a Norton instructor account, please visit the Norton Instructor Resources page for instructions on how to set one up, or contact your Norton representative to request one
> The first time you access a Norton digital learning tool from your course, you'll be prompted to create a new student set, or to copy an existing student set
> Once you have created your new student set, you will land on the Norton product home page. You should see a green Connected to LMS badge and the new Student Set ID associated with your course in the drop-down menu on the right.
