If your organization uses Blackboard as your LMS, you can add media to courses without ever signing in to TechSmith Knowmia. This tutorial explains how an administrator can set up the Blackboard and Knowmia integration using the Learning Tool Interoprability (LTI) protocol.
While it’s possible to share media with students using direct links or video embed, an LTI integration allows users to:
To complete the LTI integration, you will need access to both the Knowmia Site Administration controls and the administration panel of Blackboard.
Note: The Consumer Key and Secret are randomly generated and unique to your Knowmia website. You may use these values for multiple Blackboard instances such as testing and production environments.
Note: If you need to view the Integration Details at a later time, click the eye icon next to the integration name.
Note: We do not recommend selecting Never or users will be unable to upload and view content from Knowmia.
You must manually add the LTI integration to one or more Blackboard menus. LTI tools are typically placed in the Tools, Assessments, Mashups, or Create menus. You can add several menu placements that connect to a single LTI integration.
Note: Each placement adds the LTI tool to a single menu. Follow the steps again to add additional menu placements.
Optional: Download and add this Knowmia icon to your tool configuration. For best results, the size of the icon should be 50 by 50 pixels.

Click the Browse button and upload the custom icon that you want shown in the course.
Your installation and configuration of the Knowmia LTI integration is now complete. Please follow the steps for Adding Media to Your Blackboard Course to test your integration.
