Blackboard.

Blackboard Learn courses, indexed and searchable.

// OVERVIEW

Blackboard Learn powers a huge share of higher education courses. It has no student-facing API, so the connector works through Lumi Anywhere, the Aluma Chrome extension: you sign in to your school's Blackboard in your own Chrome tab, and Lumi reads your enrolled courses, assignments, and discussion boards from the signed-in page.

// QUESTIONS
Is this live today?

Yes, via Lumi Anywhere, the Aluma Chrome extension, on Professional and above. Blackboard has no public student API, so Lumi reads it inside your own Chrome tab on your machine, that school sign-in stays on your device. The web app covers the OAuth and token connectors instead.

Self-hosted instances?

Yes, as long as your account can reach the course pages in a browser.

Blackboard is live via Lumi Anywhere.
