For graded assignments, you may choose to send individual assignment links (most popular), or product homepage links into your Blackboard course.
- Choose individual assignment links if you want your students to access separate links for each assignment in Blackboard. This will create separate grade columns in the Blackboard gradebook for each assignment per student.
- Choose product homepage links if you want your student to have one link in Blackboard for each Norton product. This will create one grade column for each Norton product in the Blackboard gradebook per student. This grade is a cumulative average of all assignments for that product.

Select the Norton content links to send to Blackboard. Please note that the screen below may differ based on your selection to add Norton Assignment links or Homepage Links into your course.
Note: As you expand the product folders shown above, you may determine whether a gradebook column for an assignment is created within your Blackboard gradebook, or not. If LMS Grade Column is on, the link will be sent to the course and a gradebook column will be created with the specified LMS point value.
If you turn LMS Grade Column off, the link will be sent to the Blackboard course but no grade column will be created in the Blackboard gradebook.
