There's a Google doc with all the URLs, usernames and passwords for our test LMS instances.

The instructions here pertain to our shared, test BlackBoard Learn installation at https://blackboard.hypothes.is

Testing the process of launching assignments (as a student)

You will need:

  • Which shared student account to use TODO
  • Link to a course that has several assignments testing different envs/configs TODO

Important! Installing the Hypothesis LMS app in BlackBoard

Do not install Hypothesis "globally" as an administrator in our BlackBoard instance. Instead, before creating assignments as a teacher/instructor user, follow the instructions for installing the Hypothesis LMS app as an instructor.

Make sure to create credentials at the correct "target" LMS site for your intended assignment creation, e.g.:

Testing the process of creating new assignments (as a teacher)

You will need:

  • TODO Which shared instructor account to use.
  • TODO Where to create assignments.

To create a new assignment, follow the knowledge base article for creating Hypothesis-enabled readings in BlackBoard. Keep in mind that there are lots of different BlackBoard UIs; try not to be thrown by that.

Note that you can configure an assignment to:

  • Use a public URL or Google Drive document
  • Be grade-able or not grade-able

Make sure to use the appropriate credentials for the environment you want to test against (see above).
