How do I add Red Shelf to my Course?

Add a Red Shelp tool link in Blackboard

If an instructor would like to add a link within a content area, follow these steps:

1. To add RedShelf to your Blackboard Learn course, select the Content Area where you’d like the RedShelf tool link to be added.

2. Click Build Content.

3. Select RedShelf.

4. Follow the below directions for a coded product OR a codeless product:

If you are offering an eBook or coded courseware product, you will need to

• Provide an entry in the Name field and click submit. Name the tool “Access Granted- Provided by RedShelf” and

• Under Description, type “Click here for your book.”

If you are offering a codeless courseware product, you will need to

• Provide an entry in the Name field and click submit. Name the tool “Access Granted- Please Click on the Publisher Link for Access (THIS IS FOR OPT-OUT ONLY)” and

• Under Description, type “Please click on the publisher link to gain your Codeless Access Granted materials. If you wish to opt out of the Access Granted materials, please click here. Select your course and a grey button will appear at the bottom of the screen. Click on this button to opt out of the Access Granted program and follow the instructions. The opt-out feature will only appear during the first add/drop period. Also, you will be able to opt back in during this time as well.”

 

If you merge your course sections into a super-section within Blackboard it will change the identifier needed to connect the two systems.

If you do, send an email to Curt Ward ([e-mail]) copy Ashley Keegan ([e-mail]) notifying them that you have merged your sections.
