The AhaSlides Blackboard Learn integration uses the LTI standard to embed interactive sessions inside Blackboard courses. Instructors add AhaSlides activities to course content areas, and students join without needing a separate account.

1. A Blackboard admin registers AhaSlides as an LTI tool in the system admin panel.

2. Instructors add AhaSlides to any course content area as a web link or LTI placement.

3. Select or create an AhaSlides session in the embedded panel.

4. Students click the content item and participate directly from within Blackboard.

1. As a Blackboard admin, go to System Admin → LTI Tool Providers → Register Provider Domain.

2. Enter the AhaSlides LTI provider domain and configuration details (available from AhaSlides support).

3. Set placement and tool availability for instructors across courses.

4. Instructors can now add AhaSlides to course content via Build Content → Web Link or the LTI tool placement.
