Status

Today

Students can paste an assignment into a class chat today, and the class learning mode applies to the help they get. Nexus labels pasted text as pasted and does not fetch the source link.

In progress

a connection that brings class materials from Blackboard Learn into a Nexus class. It has not run against a school's real Blackboard Learn yet, and it is not part of the next release.

Decide what stays out

Before any course content reaches a student-facing AI, decide what should never go there: answer keys, staff notes, accommodation details, other students' work. That decision matters today, when students paste assignments themselves, and it will matter more once a materials connection exists.

Blackboard stays the system of record

Blackboard Learn keeps assignments and grades. Nexus is where a student gets help with the work, under the class learning mode. Nothing in Blackboard changes when a student pastes an assignment into Nexus, and teachers can review the class chats that follow, with notice to students.

Questions and answers

Does Nexus integrate with Blackboard Learn?

Not yet. A connection that brings class materials from Blackboard Learn into a Nexus class is in progress. Today, students can paste an assignment into a class chat, and the class learning mode applies.

Can Nexus see Blackboard answer keys?

No. Today students paste assignments themselves, so Nexus sees only what a student pastes. Keep answer keys and staff notes out of anything students copy.
