Once purchased and the materials are ready for use, they will need to be linked to Blackboard Ultra through Pearson by adding LTI 1.3 links into your Blackboard Ultra course. The Get Started with MyLab, Mastering, Revel Support Page will walk you through general information for the different integrations and provide step by step instructions for setup. YSU Blackboard administrators have already configured our Blackboard Production instance with the Pearson LTI 1.3 Links. They look like the following picture in the Books & Course Tools inside your Blackboard Ultra course.
