Blackboard Scholar® is right at your fingertips within your Blackboard Learning System™, so you can add relevant, reliable resources and dynamic streams from Scholar, directly into your course - with little effort and lots of confidence.

It's easy to get started:

  • Find relevant, reliable resources more easily
  • Update your course automatically with dynamic content feeds
  • Enable student contributions to course collections
  • Share resources among peers with similar disciplines and interests

There are two ways you can integrate Scholar resources in your course:

Scholar Course Home - you can display customized Scholar resource collections as a new course tool. You can allow students to contribute to a shared collection of course bookmarks or set up custom streams to pull anything tagged with search parameters of your choice. (e.g. the most recent bookmarks tagged with "DNA" and discipline tagged with "Nursing" saved by instructors).

Scholar Bookmarks and Scholar Stream content types - you can embed individual Scholar Bookmarks or dynamic Streams build off Saved Searches in your course as custom content items. Scholar stream content types will update to display the latest X bookmarks which meet the stream criteria, where X is the Number of Results to display (between 1-25) which was selected when the search on which the stream is based was run.
