# Blackboard LTI Integration
Blackboard–SimCare LTI Integration: Instructor, Builder, and Student Workflow
**1. Open SimCare from Blackboard using the Launch link** [0:13](https://loom.com/share/70b8e87e588b40859b34bc9aaaae0bed?t=13)
* In a Blackboard course, go to **Add Content** and open the **Content Market**.
* Select the SimCare option called **Launch SimCare**.
* This creates a simple link that lets instructors or students open SimCare in a new tab and be automatically logged in.
* After adding it, refresh the course page to see the new launch link.
**2. Add a SimCare assignment from the Content Market** [1:14](https://loom.com/share/70b8e87e588b40859b34bc9aaaae0bed?t=74)
* Go back to the **Content Market** and choose **SimCare Assignment Picker**.
* This shows assignments tied to your program, including ones created by instructors, course builders, subject matter experts, or others in the program.
* Select the assignment you want to use, such as **Assignment 3**.
* Refresh the Blackboard page to confirm the assignment has been added.
**3. Launch the assignment as an instructor for testing** [1:45](https://loom.com/share/70b8e87e588b40859b34bc9aaaae0bed?t=105)
* Click the added assignment link in Blackboard.
* It opens in a new tab and launches in **test mode** for the instructor.
* For this example, the assignment is a **case study** that asks the user to choose a client.
* This lets instructors verify the assignment flow before students use it.
**4. Student view: launch SimCare and start the assignment** [2:05](https://loom.com/share/70b8e87e588b40859b34bc9aaaae0bed?t=125)
* On the student side of the same Blackboard course, the student sees both:
* the **Launch SimCare** link
* the **assignment** link
* Clicking **Launch SimCare** logs the student into SimCare in a new tab.
* Clicking the assignment opens the actual assignment so the student can begin work.
**5. Complete the case conversation requirements** [2:41](https://loom.com/share/70b8e87e588b40859b34bc9aaaae0bed?t=161)
* The student must complete at least **four back-and-forth exchanges** with the client for the case to count.
* In the demo, the student talks with **Emma** several times.
* Once the conversation is sufficiently complete, the student can end the case.
* Ending the call marks the assignment as completed and starts feedback generation.
**6. Feedback is generated and sent back to the instructor** [3:24](https://loom.com/share/70b8e87e588b40859b34bc9aaaae0bed?t=204)
* After the student ends the conversation, SimCare begins generating feedback.
* That feedback is sent back to the instructor side for review and grading.
* The transcript notes that the grading details are handled in SimCare, not directly in Blackboard for this demo.
**7. Instructor reviews the submission in SimCare** [3:46](https://loom.com/share/70b8e87e588b40859b34bc9aaaae0bed?t=226)
* On the SimCare instructor side, a new class appears with the same name as the Blackboard course.
* The assignment copied from the master course is linked to the Blackboard course launch.
* The instructor can also see the student who completed the assignment, such as **John Doe**.
* From **View Submissions**, the instructor can open **Grade a Case** to review the work.
**8. Grade passback is not covered in this video** [4:23](https://loom.com/share/70b8e87e588b40859b34bc9aaaae0bed?t=263)
* The video does **not** cover the full grade passback process.
* The intended flow is:
* instructor enters a grade in SimCare
* instructor clicks **Publish Grade**
* grade passback sends the score back to Blackboard
* The team is still investigating:
* the **zeroing issue**
* the full **Blackboard Ultra grade passback** workflow
