Q: Is there a list of publisher content that pairs with Blackboard?
If you are using a publisher website for materials and assessments in your course, you may be able to ‘pair’ your Blackboard course to the publisher course site so that students can connect to the publisher site from Blackboard without creating a separate login account. Some publishers also allow for ‘deep integration’ (or ‘deep linking’) between your course and the publisher site, so that assignments and quizzes are individually accessible in your course and integrated with your Blackboard grade book.
Publisher tools in Blackboard LMS are integrations with educational publishers that simplify the teaching and learning experience.
These tools offer several benefits for both instructors and students:
