LMS Integration in support of Affordable Learning Solutions

The Affordable Learning Solutions (AL$) community includes those interested in bring digital content and tools into the learning management system. I am a consultant to AL$, specializing in LMS integrations and am a resource to help inform the community about what is happening in this area as well as to attempt to answer technical questions.

The intent of this forum is to discuss how digital content and tools can be or are being integrated with LMS platforms across the CSU. This is also a forum to raise question about the open and commercial options, the relevant standards, and the specific integrations options.

I invite all to ask questions.

For those not having Blackboard on their campus and looking for a FREE instance (with limitations), may want to consider Blackboard's CourseSites service.

Folks have asked how to discover and incorporate MERLOT content into Blackboard. There is a Blackboard extension (building block) your Blackboard administrator can install to make this easy. Attached is a document that shows how to use the integration to search MERLOT and paste links to results in a single click.

Feel free to use / modify this document. Also, I wrote this building block so contact me or the MERLOT team if you need a version of this with additional capabilities.
