Camtasia Relay Tutorial:

Publish Blackboard Announcements

Learn how to publish publish Blackboard Announcements with Camtasia Relay presentations.

Camtasia Relay can automatically post announcements on Blackboard. Configuring Blackboard announcements is a two-step process. First, install the Camtasia Relay Building Block on Blackboard and establish the Shared Secret. Next, configure profiles in Camtasia Relay to publish Blackboard announcements.

Install Camtasia Relay Building Block

Locate the Camtasia Relay Building Block (RelayAnnounce.war) installed during the server installation at: C:\Program Files\Techsmith\Relay Server\Blackboard Building Block.

  1. Go to your Blackboard site. E.g. http://blackboard.example.com.
  2. Click User Login and sign in as a System Administrator.
  3. Click the System Admin tab.
  4. Click the Building Blocks link.
    Click Building Blocks.
  5. Click Install Building Blocks.
    Click Install Building Blocks.
  6. Browse to RelayAnnounce.war. Click Open (or OK).
  7. Click the Submit button and verify the Building Block is available.
  8. Click the Properties button. This displays the Shared Secret.
    Choose a secure shared secret.
  9. Choose and enter a secure Shared Secret, and make a note of it as you will need to enter the Shared Secret into Camtasia Relay.

  1. Go to Settings > System Options.
  2. Click Enable Blackboard announcements.
  3. Enter the Blackboard URL and Shared Secret.

    The Blackboard URL should include http:// or https://. For example: http://blackboard.example.com. The Shared Secret is entered by the Blackboard Administrator after the Camtasia Relay Building Bock is installed.
