Riipen + Blackboard Integration

Riipen is UND's new project-based learning platform, where instructors select real-world experiences to incorporate into their course curriculum. Just set up a Riipen course page, and use the Blackboard - Riipen integration to link it to your Blackboard course site, so students can view the project page with one click.

 

Add a Riipen Link to Your Blackboard Course

  1. Follow the instructions here to sign up and create your Ripen page.
     
  2. When your Riipen page is ready to link, open it in your browser, and copy the unique alphanumeric code from its URL in the address bar. You will need to select the string corresponding to the one highlighted in the image below:
