Blackboard deep linking

[William Haynes]

Hi Christian,

We recently switched to Blackboard Ultra and Numbas LTI Provider 4.4.  Previously I was able to create deep links directly to Numbas Exams assigned in Blackboard.  

I can't figure out how to do it with the new setup.  Is deep linking possible, and if so how?  What should the url to the exam look like?

Hi

We use Ultra and adding it via The Content Market does create a Deep Link directly to that Numbas Assessment

And once you Upload an Exam Package it does name it correctly:

In order for this to be IN Blackboard Gradebook you have to SEND the Assessments FROM Numbas once completed or you can do it at the beginning:

Johan,

Thank you.    The links to Numbas items work within Blackboard, but I'm looking for a link to the assignment that I can paste into an email or a web page.  Is that possible?
