Directions for Creating an iTunes U Course through Blackboard
Creating the course in iTunes U
- Login to Blackboard.
- Enter your course in Blackboard and go to the course Control Panel.
- Select the iTunes U link under the Course Tools section. NOTE: If your Blackboard course was created prior to October 1, 2009,
you will need to turn on the iTunes U tool first by going to Control Panel—Manage Tools—Building Block Tool Availability and placing a check
in the box beside iTunesU Course Application. If your Blackboard course was created after October 1, 2009, you should see the iTunes U link in
the control panel by default.
- Select the Enable button to create a space for your course in iTunes U.
- Next you will need to add a link to your newly created iTunes U course in Blackboard. This link will allow students to access your iTunes U course space.
- Enter the content area of your Blackboard course where you want the link to be placed (Course Documents, Assignments, etc.)
- Select the iTunes U Link from the drop-down menu (to the far right of the add item bar), and click Go.
- Enter the link properties, and click Submit.
Accessing your course in iTunes U
