Integrate an Existing WebAssign Course With Blackboard

If you already created the WebAssign course you want to integrate with Blackboard® — and no students are enrolled — integrate your existing course.

Note Course templates, courses with student enrollments, and courses that are already linked to an LMS can't be linked.

Open your Blackboard course.
Add WebAssign content to your course.
Blackboard Original
1. Click Content > Build Content > Cengage Content.
  If the Cengage tool is not shown under Build Content, see Can't Find Cengage Content in Blackboard.
Blackboard Ultra
1. Click + > Content Market.
2. Click Cengage Content under Institution Tools.
  
  Important If you see a Cengage tool shown under Content Market, do not select it. This is an outdated version of the integration that will be removed soon. Only add the Cengage tool under Institution Tools.
  
  If the Cengage tool is not shown under Institution Tools, see Can't Find Cengage Content in Blackboard.
If prompted, sign in to your Cengage instructor account to link your Blackboard and Cengage accounts.

To create direct links to learning activities:

You can also create a course link with this option.
1. Click Select Content.
2. Select activities to include in your class.
  
  Note Selecting a group of activities does not select all activities in the group. You must select each activity individually.
  Expand or collapse the course outline if needed.
  
  Graded activities that have already been added are marked . To avoid duplicate activity links and gradebook columns, do not import the same activity twice.
  
  Due dates set in your WebAssign course are synced to Blackboard.
  
  Date changes in your WebAssign course overwrite dates set in your Blackboard course. For consistency, make sure your WebAssign and Blackboard courses are set to the same time zone.
3. If needed, change gradebook syncing for specific activities.
  
  By default, when you include a graded activity it is added to the Blackboard gradebook.
  
  To remove an activity from the gradebook, clear Add to Gradebook.
  
  To sync an activity to the gradebook without creating an activity link, first select Add to Gradebook and then clear the Add to Course checkbox on the left.
To create a course link only:
1. Click Add Course Link.
2. Blackboard Original: Review the settings, select where to put your course link, and click Submit.
Click the link to your WebAssign course and verify that it's set up how you want.

If prompted, read and accept the service agreement.
