Microsoft Education
Caution
Microsoft is streamlining their LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) experiences by consolidating the capabilities of multiple LTI tools available today into fewer and more functional tools. New deployments of the Class Teams and Meetings LTI tools are no longer supported in the Microsoft LTI Registration Portal. Existing deployments will stop working on 15th September 2025. To learn more, visit Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) FAQ.
Teamwork is at the core of every modern organization. It's a defining characteristic of every successful institution. You can enhance all the capabilities and features of Blackboard by pairing them up with Microsoft Education.
Microsoft Teams classes
Available in Ultra Course View courses only, our Microsoft Education integration allows you to bring in the full capabilities of Microsoft tools into your Blackboard instance. Your classes may include real-time conversations, video meetings, or asynchronous interactions. You can add file sharing and co-creation experiences for your students. All in one place. Microsoft Education with Blackboard redefines the dynamics of teaching and what effective learning means. This integration streamlines the process of creating meeting sessions and setting them up as Microsoft Education chats. The open access links to the session created by Microsoft Education are added to the Course Content page and as calendar entries in the Blackboard course calendar.
Tip
Microsoft Education is available in Ultra Course View courses only
Microsoft Teams Scheduler (Guest Access)
Available for use in both Original and Ultra Course View courses, Microsoft has created an application that allows instructors to create a Teams meeting and share that with their students. We've turned that application into an LTI Advantage tool that can be integrated with Blackboard. Our integration allows users to launch Microsoft Education directly within any Blackboard course.
