This guide is for instructors, learning design folks, and anyone who needs to know how to LTI create their Yellowdig community and connect it to their Blackboard Gradebook. 

The steps below assume that Yellowdig has already been installed in your organization's Blackboard, instance. If you're unsure whether this was done yet you can reach out to us at support@yellowdig.com. You're also welcome to try the steps in this guide, and if you're successful that means that Yellowdig has in fact already been installed! 😃 

This guide contains instructions for integrating with Blackboard Ultra or Blackboard Original. Skip to the section that is relevant to you.
