As an instructor for a First Day/Inclusive Access course, you will need to add the First Day Course Materials (FDA) tool link in your Blackboard Ultra Course Content area so that students can choose to opt-out of the program during the designated period of time.
Pearson-specific First Day course materials such as the eBook and associated courseware, including assignments, quizzes, and other assessments will also be accessed by the students through the FDA tool link.
Adding the First Day Course Materials Link
- From the Course Content page, click on an Add Content (+) icon and from the drop-down menu, select Content Market.
2. In the Content Market page, scroll down and locate First Day Course Materials. Click the Add Content (+) icon to add the tool link to the Course Content page.
3. Newly added items to the Course Content page automatically default to “Hidden from students”. Click the arrow next to the visibility setting to make the link available to student users. Select the More Options icon (…) to edit the link name, should you want to change “First Day Course Materials” to a custom title.
