Multimedia: Ebooks and Blackboard

Unless the publisher provides an “embed code,” it is unlikely an ebook can be loaded into Blackboard. 

Provide students with a link to the book and they will each need to download the publication to their devices.

The Android/Windows version, students will need to have an ereader installed in order to open the book, which is in ePub format. There are many free ereader software options available, one of which is suggested on the page where the book can be accessed.
