Sync Assignments with Deep Links
What are Deep Links?
If you use deep links, the Hawkes assignments synced to your Blackboard course will be selectable. When selected, the links will take students directly to that assignment's landing page within Hawkes, bypassing the Hawkes sign in and Dashboard navigation process. This allows students to access individual Hawkes assignments directly within Blackboard.
Setting up deep links up will also automatically enable Hawkes Single Sign On which creates the student's Hawkes account, enrolls them in the correct Hawkes section, and automatically provides them with temporary access when they select their first Hawkes assignment.
Note: Instructors must enter section start and end dates in the Hawkes Grade Book for students to receive temporary access at the start of the term.
Create your Assignment Deep Links
If your Blackboard course is already linked to your Hawkes section, go to step 4.
1. Enter your Blackboard course as an instructor and open the Hawkes Sync Tool.
2. Link your Blackboard course to the corresponding Hawkes section.
3. Close the Hawkes Sync Tool and return to your Blackboard course dashboard.
4. In your course, go to Content.

- Note: Assignments must first be assigned in Hawkes for the assignment deep links to appear.
7. Once you've selected your assignments, click Create Links in the top right corner.
8. Return to Content in your Blackboard course to view the assignment deep links.
Creating the Assignment Grade Association for the Deep Links
