Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Blackboard Learn, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Blackboard Learn. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Blackboard Learn owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I check the attendance records for a specific class meeting?

    You can use the get_meeting_attendance capability by providing the Course ID and Meeting ID. The agent will retrieve the full list of users and their current attendance status (e.g., Present, Absent).

  • 02

    Is it possible to see recent changes in student grades?

    Yes, use the get_recent_grade_changes capability. It allows you to monitor updates in the gradebook, helping you stay informed about recent evaluations and adjustments.

  • 03

    Can I post a new announcement to my students through the AI?

    Absolutely. Use the create_course_announcement capability. Just provide the Course ID, a title, and the body of your message, and the agent will publish it to the course immediately.
