Blackboard D2L integration

If you are using Blackboard as your default LMS, you can integrate it with D2L to help your students access their Dean Vaughn course without logging into D2L.

Here is how the integration works for instructors and the students:

1. Instructors:

• Instructor accounts are created in D2L, and they are expected to access the course from D2L, not Blackboard. As administrators, you will not be able to configure course settings from Blackboard. 

• Since students are not logging into D2L, there is no need to enroll them. Their student accounts will be generated automatically, and they will access course content through a link in Blackboard. 

• While there is no need to enroll students into D2L, instructors will be required to enroll students into sections. 

• As students take their tests,  only their final grade will be recorded in Blackboard. All test results will be visible in D2L. 

2. Students: 

• Students are logging into their Dean Vaughn accounts through a link in Blackboard. There is no need for them to log into D2L. 

• Students can access all course content in D2L and take tests. Only their final grade will be recorded in Blackboard (Grades, Class Progress, Quizzes). 

Important: 

Setting up a Blackboard integration will take a few days, so if this is something you are interested in, please email us so we can get the process started. Please make sure to request this integration before you have enrolled your students into d2l, to avoid duplicating their accounts.
