On 6/24/2021, ACC added the Zoom LTI tool to the Blackboard interface, allowing you to access your Zoom directly from our Learning Management System. There are two ways to access the tool in your course.

Access the Zoom tool in Blackboard

Go to the Course Management Area.
Select the drop-down arrow next to “Control Panel.”
Select the drop-down arrow next to “Course Tools.”
Select Zoom Meeting.

Adding a link to Zoom in your course

Make sure you are in Edit Mode, and then in the course menu, click the circle with the plus inside and select “Tool Link” from the drop-down menu.
Create a name for the tool link; I named mine “Zoom.”
Select Zoom Meeting for Type.
Select the box next to “Available to Users” so your students can see the link.

Zoom is now in your course menu; you can change its placement with the up and down arrows.

Adding Zoom to a content area

Select the drop-down arrow next to “Tools” in a content area.
Select the drop-down arrow next to “More Tools.”
Select Zoom Meeting.

For additional information, view the video to see how to add a tool link.

Polls are a helpful way to find out if your participants are understanding the information, paying attention, or surveying the group. With Zoom, you can ask single answer questions or multiple choice during the meeting and even get a report of how participants responded after the session is over.

For additional information, view the Polls for Meetings article.

You can use Opinion Scale/Likert-type questions to measure students’ attitudes or reactions with a comparable scale. Opinion Scale/Likert questions are ideal for surveys.
