Add Problems to LMS Course

Note

You must first link your MathWorks® Account to the LMS before you can add MATLAB® Grader™ coding problems. See Link MathWorks Account to MATLAB Grader Assessment Content.

Note

Only a single MATLAB Grader assessment item can be linked to a single assignment in the LMS gradebook. Review the documentation for the gradebook feature of your LMS vendor for ways to combine multiple assessment item scores into a single grade.

Check for Existing MATLAB Grader Integration

To determine if you can add MATLAB Grader coding problems to your LMS course, follow the instructions in this section that are applicable to your LMS and try adding a problem.

If you cannot find the MATLAB Grader integration, or it is clear that MATLAB Grader has not been integrated yet, contact your LMS administrator.

    If the LMS administrator named the LTI integration something else, you'll need to get that name and find it in this list.

  4. Click the plus icon in the bottom right hand corner, below the logo and text.

    DO NOT click the logo or text.

    You are returned to the course content page with an instance of new content where you clicked the plus icon. The title is the name of the integration (MATLAB Grader LTI 1.3).

  5. Click the ellipses for more actions and select Edit.

  6. Click the ellipses next to the title name to change the content title.

  7. Change Hidden from students to Visible to students.

    You must change the visibility, with or without conditions, to make the content visible to students.

  8. Check Create gradebook entry for this item.

  9. Fill out the Due date, Grade using, and Maximum points for this content.

  10. Select a category appropriate for this content. You can create a category to store all of your MATLAB-based assignments, for example, "MATLAB Assignments".

  11. Provide a description for the content and click Save.

    The updated title and description show in the list of course content.

  12. Click on the content title to edit the problem. Blackboard Learn launches the MATLAB Grader interface for copying and creating content. You can create a new problem or select a problem from your available collections or courses. To learn more, select a topic from Develop Coding Problems.
