The Blackboard Sync Building Block is an optional step you can take to have more control over student access and Blackboard Sync's interaction with your Blackboard system. By installing the Blackboard Sync Building Block:
- the single sign-on functionality between the user's Facebook account and their Blackboard account is managed by the Blackboard Sync Building Block,
- no student credentials are stored by Blackboard Sync
- the course information is pulled through the Blackboard Sync Building Block instead of screen-scraping
The Blackboard Sync Building Block is now available - click here to go to Behind the Blackboard to download.
In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to prepare for a smooth installation. Visit the KB Wiki article on Behind the Blackboard
