Set up the Direct integration - Blackboard
Learn how to work with a Direct integration in a Blackboard course. Depending on how the course is set up and your permissions, you might refer to one or more guides below.
Not sure whether your course has a Direct integration?
You'll see Direct integration links in your Blackboard course's content areas. These links often include the MyLab or Mastering product name. For example, MyLab Math - Student Resources.
If there's a link for the MyLab and Mastering or Access Pearson integration in the left navigation or content area, remove or hide it from students. Otherwise, students might select the link and be asked to pay for access to MyLab and Mastering.
Copy a Blackboard course with a Direct integration
Use this guide if you have access to a Blackboard course that already includes Direct integration links. This guide covers copying Direct integration links between Blackboard courses and making a copy of integrated MyLab or Mastering content.

Using Blackboard Ultra? See Blackboard Help for how to import course packages. (You have the Blackboard Ultra course view if you see Books & Tools in your course's left navigation.)
Use instructor self service
Use the Instructor Self Service link to manage grade sync, add or restore Direct integration links, and view course details.
If your institution uses opt-in or opt-out managed by Pearson, you can set the start date for your MyLab or Mastering content. If your institution uses anonymization, you can view the course roster.
Get students started
When students use Direct integration links, they select a link and accept the license agreement and privacy policy. Students will then appear in your MyLab and Mastering gradebook and roster.
Students access Direct integration links from content areas in your Blackboard course.
