Make a Blackboard Integration request

If you are interested in a third-party tool that is not integrated with UA’s instance of Blackboard Learn, please

visit the CIT Support portal to request a Blackboard Integration

.

• Review the Blackboard Integration Request Guidelines

• Contact CIT as early as possible when requesting a new REST API or LTI integration. We recommend contacting our office a full semester in advance of implementation to allow for the approval process to take place.

Support for Third Party Tools

While the Center for Instructional Technology will attempt to provide support for third party tools when possible, there are limitations to our control over third-party vendor products and vendor support responsiveness. Most of the time, operation of the third party tools and product accounts/registration will be managed and supported by the tool provider.

Retention and Ongoing Maintenance

The Center for Instructional Technology reserves the right to disable or remove any integration that becomes a vulnerability to the system. We will review third-party integrations periodically and will assess whether integrations continue to meet the needs of UA’s LMS users.

Resources for Third-Party Vendors and Developers

The University of Alabama will not install integrations that are still being developed. Vendors and developers needing access to a Blackboard Learn instance for integration development should explore Blackboard Partner programs.
