Visit the Find Integrated Teaching Technologies webpage for a complete list of current third-party integrations and the Requesting a Teaching Technology Integration form.

Adding Integrations to Courses

Instructors install and configure active integrations in content modules in one of two ways, depending on the vendor:

  • By clicking Existing Activities and selecting External Learning Tools.

Or

  • By clicking the Insert Stuff tool in the Brightspace text editor.  

Many popular text publishers also have active integrations within UB Learns that require unique configurations. Instructors should contact their selected publisher representatives for specific integration instructions for Brightspace.
