Reconnect a FeedbackFruits Template in a Copied Blackboard Ultra Course
When a Blackboard Ultra course is copied into a new term, FeedbackFruits activities do not automatically reconnect to their original templates. Instructors must open the copied FeedbackFruits activity and create a new copy from the saved FeedbackFruits template in the Institutional Library. This process establishes a fresh connection between Blackboard and FeedbackFruits, ensuring that student enrollments, activity settings, grade synchronization, and gradebook integration function correctly.
