Talis Aspire: course reading lists - draft for New List View update

Integrate Talis list with Blackboard

Once you have created and published a list in Talis, you can link and display the list within Blackboard.

 

To integrate the Talis list with Blackboard, you need to link the course code to the Talis list. You can do this by clicking “Edit” at the top of the list, and then selecting “Hierarchy and student numbers” at the bottom of the drop down menu.

Type in the course code and estimated number of students, and then click save. You can now display sections of the list, or the whole list, in Blackboard.
