iClicker LTI
iClicker Cloud uses Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standards to sync scores to the Blackboard Grade Center. This integration is an alternative to the manual export/import process with external CSV files.
As of Spring2018, iClicker Cloud grades sync to a single column in Blackboard. Every time you sync your scores, the column will be updated to reflect the new running total.
NOTE: Individual session scores can be manually exported from iClicker and then uploaded to Blackboard.
1. Select your course.
Open your iClicker Cloud app and select your course. Click either the gear icon in the side panel or the Edit button on your course dashboard.

2. Get the LTI link.
From the Settings window, select the Grade Sync tab and select "Single-column grade sync." Click Copy Link to copy the course-specific link.
NOTE: This link is unique for each iClicker Cloud course. You need to follow these directions precisely for each course you are teaching.

3. Add LTI link to your course.
