FACULTY: How can I add an Individual Knewton Assignment to Blackboard Ultra?

If you create additional assignments or tests in Alta after you’ve imported your common cartridge to Blackboard Ultra, you can import them individually.

Steps:

  1. Log into your Knewton Alta account and navigate to either your course or section outline where you have added the new assignment. Note if you have multiple sections in the LMS, this process will need to be completed for each section. 
  2. Click the Manage button to view an outline of your coursework.
