Before adding links to WebAssign activities, make sure your WebAssign course is set up the way you want it.
- Add and organize the assigned activities and course materials for your WebAssign course.
- Configure assignment settings such as grading, attempts, feedback, time limits, due dates, point values, and grade categories.
Links created in this way are sometimes called deep links because they are not just web links but allow data to be exchanged between Blackboard and WebAssign.
Open your Blackboard course.
Add WebAssign content to your course.
