Online Tutoring: for Instructors

Instructors can choose to make the Brainfuse Online Tutoring tool option available for students in their Blackboard course. Here are 3 of the options depending on where you’d like to have the Brainfuse tool link added in your course: 

1. To add a link to the Brainfuse tool in any content area of a course: 

• Choose Tools
• From the dropdown option – be sure to select More Tools
• From the next options Choose BrainFuse HelpNow SSO. Note: Don’t choose the first Brainfuse HelpNow link listed = without SSO. Be sure to click More Tools and pick the one that has SSO = Single Sign On -  titled Brainfuse HelpNow SSO.
• Fill in the Link information as desired and click Submit. 

2. If you have a Tools content area already available for your student with other tools listed, you can have the Brainfuse Tool listed and available with the other Tools.

3. To add a link in the left course navigation specifically to the Brainfuse tool:

• Click the Plus + sign in the left navigation bar of your course
• Select Tool link.
• Under Type – choose Brainfuse HelpNow SSO and type something in the Name field --- Online Tutoring or Brainfuse or whatever you’d like to title that link.
• If the link is hidden from student view, you can make the link available by clicking the dropdown option and choosing Show Link.
• Then you would have a link listed in the left navigation of your course. ​
