Tip: The first time you use this feature, you will have to enter your LMS credentials to provide Anthology Outcomes with permission to access your data in the LMS. This will only need to be completed once.

3.) Use the term filter and course search in Outcomes to find the course(s) integrated from Blackboard that contains data related to this assessment. Select the assignment, and click "Import Results."

Tip: You will only see courses listed that you have permission to in the LMS.

You can also select multiple assignments and assignments from multiple courses at once if you want those results to all be tied to the same assessment in Outcomes.

If you do select multiple assignments, you'll be prompted to review the data before it is pulled into Outcomes. After review choose either "Previous" to edit or "Import Results" to complete the import of results.

4.) Student scores will be imported from the LMS gradebook* and automatically bucketed into the appropriate achievement level based on the assessment's thresholds. You are now ready to complete the rest of the assessment information requested on your institution's template.
