Acadly courses can be set up with or without Blackboard integration. Similarly, they can be set up with or without Zoom integration too.

  • Blackboard integration: This is recommended if your course is set up on Bb. Creating a course this way ensures that your Acadly course enrollment stays up-to-date automatically.
  • Zoom integration: Using Zoom integration helps instructors add more engagement options for online attendees and automate attendance for them. Please refer to the demo video below.
 

Engagement and attendance
for online/hybrid classes
 

 



Acadly also includes a virtual classroom platform powered by integration with your existing Zoom account.

In a hybrid class, instructors can use both the in-person attendance feature as well as the prompt-based online attendance feature for remote attendees.

The attendance records include information on students' location context (remote or in-person) as well. Learn more about hybrid attendance.




 

 



Acadly's Zoom integration facilitates instructors to use the same platform to share activities (like polls and quizzes), assignments, and learning resources for every attendee - whether they are joining in person or online.

In a hybrid class, instructors can give everyone an immersive experience – let students chat, discuss and ask queries using the same platform - ensuring a truly equivalent experience, irrespective of location.
