FileBridge
The Xythos/Blackboard File Bridge Extension is an open source application developed by Northwestern University Information Technology (NUIT) to facilitate content exchange between its Blackboard and Xythos applications and to simplify user access to both academic systems. The File Bridge Extension is now available for other colleges and universities to use at no extra charge.
The Xythos/Blackboard File Bridge Extension (File Bridge) enables instructors using the Blackboard system in their teaching to take advantage of features within their Xythos accounts, providing greater convenience and utility in distributing resources to students via their Blackboard course sites.
File Bridge also can be used to allow a group of instructors or an entire institution to distribute content within multiple courses, without proliferating copies of the content among multiple Blackboard course sites. File Bridge allows students and instructors with accounts in the Xythos system to quickly access Xythos from Blackboard without requiring a second login.
