# Blackboard LMS

Synap integrates with Blackboard through [**LTI 1.3 / Advantage**](/doc/integrations/lti/lti1.3-advantage.md). It allows students to launch Synap exams, courses and practice tests from their Blackboard courses without a separate sign-in. Results can be configured to be passed back to Gradebook.

{% hint style="info" %}
This integration is available to Enterprise customers. Contact your account manager if you need help with setup.
{% endhint %}

The integration supports:

* Launching Synap Exams and Collections from Blackboard.
* Instructor deep linking through Blackboard Content Market.
* Score passback to Blackboard when grade service access is enabled.

### Get started

1. View the [Synap listing in the Blackboard App Catalog](https://appcatalog.blackboard.com/details/synap).
2. Register Synap as an LTI 1.3 tool in Blackboard.
3. Complete the [LTI 1.3 / Advantage configuration](/doc/integrations/lti/lti1.3-advantage.md).

After configuration, instructors can open **Content Market** in a Blackboard course. Select **Synap Collection** or **Synap Exam** to add Synap content.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://academy.synap.ac/doc/integrations/blackboard-lms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
