Connect + blackboard integration questions

Hi, I have a question regarding possible integration with Blackboard.

If integrated, is it possible to make an adobe session available to all users in a particular course?

Is it also then possible to make it available to selected other users that are not on that course?

Lastly, is it possible to have a single sign in so that users don't have to log into blackboard and then also into adobe?

Thanksin advance
John.

I believe the answer is yes, the Connect room can be created as an object in BB, and be a part of the course.

Not sure, but in Connect it is possible to assign rights to anyone who has can account (if synced with LDAP, then it could be anyone in the organization)

Yes, with a licensed deployment (i believe it is required for BB integration), you can have SSO setup.

Thanks Jorma, that's great!On the SSO, do you know if that works externally also, ie, say a student trying to login from home instead of from on campus?

Regards,
John.

I don't believe the SSO is dependent on the user location. If they can sign into BB then it should sign them into Connect.

The guide for setting up SSO in BB is here: http://www.connectusers.com/tutorials/2 … lguide.php

It's a little old, but I believe it still applies.

Hi John,

The most recent documentation for the Adobe Connect/Blackboard integration is here:

http://www.goletaworks.com/adobe/adobe_ … -06-11.pdf

You can download the Adobe Connect building block either from the Blackboard Extensions site:

http://www.blackboard.com/Partnerships/Extensions.aspx (search for "Adobe Connect Building Block")

or directly from our Adobe Connect building block support site:

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,
Paul
