Linking and Embedding in Blackboard (steps for Faculty)

In Blackboard Ultra courses, there are two primary ways to publish media from the My Media library to your course: by creating a link in the content area or by embedding it in any item with a rich text editor (e.g. Discussion Forum/Thread, Assignment, Item, Quiz Question, etc.).

Blackboard Ultra Option 1: Create a Link

This is the simplest way to display your media in the course. This process creates a link in the course that students will click to see your media.

1. After adding your media to Kaltura, navigate to the place in your course where you would like it to be linked. 
2. Click the + icon and choose Content Market then Kaltura Video.
3. This will display your My Media content. Click the blue Embed button for the media you want to embed in the course.
4. This will create a direct link to your content in the course. You may edit this item to modify the title if you like.

Blackboard Ultra Option 2: Embedded Video

You can embed your media in any text editor that has an Insert Content + button including Ultra Document, Discussion Thread, Assignment, and Test Question in the course. These instructions describe creating a new Ultra Document, but you can embed this elsewhere by starting at step 5.

1. After adding your media to Kaltura, navigate to the place in your course where you want to insert a Document with the embedded media.
2. Click the + icon and choose Create and Document.
3. Edit the title of your Document and then click the + button.
4. Click Content.
5. In the text editor, click the + button at the far right (Insert Content).
6. Click Content Market.
7. Click Kaltura Video.
8. This will display your My Media content, click the blue Embed button for the media you want to use. Edit the title if desired in the title panel that appears.
9. This will embed the media in the Document. Finish editing the Document and click Save.
