FAQs: Wayground x Blackboard Integration via LTI

Q. What happens if teacher email IDs in Blackboard and Wayground accounts are different?

A. Teachers are required to log in directly to Wayground via Blackboard to access it. This allows them to use their Wayground accounts, which may be associated with different email addresses from those used in Blackboard.

Q. How does Wayground handle student logins from Blackboard?

A. Wayground creates accounts for students based on their unique LMS user accounts and does not rely on student emails provided by Blackboard. This approach ensures student data privacy and provides a seamless login experience, eliminating the need for explicit Single Sign-On (SSO) or additional onboarding steps.

Students can access the Wayground accounts created via Blackboard exclusively through Blackboard LTI. This student profile remains consistent across all their Blackboard courses. If a student is removed from Blackboard, they will lose access to their Wayground student account created via Blackboard. Logging into Wayground using another method will create a separate Wayground account.

Q. How does this work with Accommodation Profiles?

A. When a teacher opens the Wayground LTI app from a Blackboard course, the class syncs on Wayground. Teachers can set Accommodation Profiles for students either from their Classes page on Wayground or while assigning a resource on Blackboard. 

Q. I accidentally deleted the Wayground LTI app from Blackboard. How do I add it again?

A. If you’ve accidentally removed the Wayground LTI app from Blackboard, follow these steps to restore it:

1. Go to the 'LMS integration' tab on Wayground and select 'Blackboard'
2. Click on 'Generate Integration' to generate a new Client ID and new Integration ID
3. Follow the steps outlined in this guide to complete the integration process
