Issue/Question
How can I create a Mediasite Mashup in a Discussion Board thread post?
Environment
Cause
The Mashup feature in Blackboard allows the viewing and sharing of media content from external websites.
Resolution
Students are not able to create a Mashup for Mediasite Presentations or Mediasite Catalogs in discussion board posts. Although the Mediasite options will appear, this feature is strictly for instructor use.
- When creating a discussion board thread post, in the Message box toolbar, click (show more).
- Click Mashups and a dropdown menu will appear:
- Choose Mediasite Presentations if you want to add a single presentation.
- Choose Mediasite Catalogs if you want to add a catalog.
- Type the name of the Mediasite content in search field.
Note: This should appear in a new window. If it does not, you may need to adjust your popup blocker settings.
- Click Submit.
- Fill the check box or radio button next to the content you are wanting to add.
- Click Submit.
