Configure a Launcher Block in BPI

A Launcher Block is a small block that provides links to other blocks. Use a Launcher Block when size is a concern, or if many blocks need to be added to the LMS.

General Info

Block name and Block creator are required fields that cannot be modified once saved.

IMPORTANT

When adding a Launcher Block to Blackboard Learn the Block Name displays at the top of the block for end users instead of the Block Title.

Block Options

  • Enable collapse description – The user can hide the block description text.
  • Enable show title – The title will be visible to the end user.
  • Open link in new window - Items accessed from the Launcher block will open in a new browser window/tab (the majority of browsers actually open the link in a new tab rather than a new window).
