For Students: How to Access Coursera via Blackboard Ultra

Accessing Coursera in Blackboard Ultra

To access Coursera content within Blackboard Ultra, your institution needs to have the Coursera LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) integration set up. Assuming this integration is in place, you can generally access Coursera courses as follows:

1. Open your Blackboard Ultra Course: Navigate to the specific Blackboard Ultra course where the Coursera content is integrated.
2. Go to the Content Area: Look for the “Content” tab or section within your Blackboard course.
3. Locate the Coursera Link: Instructors typically add links to Coursera courses within the Blackboard Ultra Content area. Click on the hyperlink that is associated with the corresponding Coursera course or content.
4. Enroll/Log in to Coursera: If you are accessing Coursera through this link for the first time, you may be prompted to enroll in the course or log in to your Coursera account:
   • Existing Coursera Account: If you have an existing Coursera account associated with your Blackboard email address, you’ll be asked to provide your password.
   • New Coursera Account: If you don’t have a Coursera account yet, you may be prompted to create one and set a password.
   • Enrollment: After associating your account (or creating one), you might need to click “Enroll” on the Coursera course page itself.
5. Access the Coursera Course Content: Once enrolled and logged in, you’ll be redirected to the Coursera course page and can access the learning materials.
