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.
