Following Shared Projects in StudyMate

Updated on

The URL generated for a StudyMate project can be used to follow that project and add it to your list of projects in the StudyMate window of Blackboard.

To follow another user's StudyMate project, click Follow Project in the StudyMate window of Blackboard.

Next, copy and paste the URL of the project that was shared with you, then click Save.

The project will now appear in the StudyMate Blackboard window under My StudyMate Projects, with an icon to indicate that it is a project you are following. The project will also list the author's name and will only host the button to Study the project, not Edit it.

Followed projects can be shared by URL, made available to all users in the course, or duplicated for a version to edit using the drop down menu associated with the project.

Tip: Deleting a followed project does not delete the original project from the author's list, only from your own list. Conversely, deleting a project you've authored will also delete its availability to anyone following that project.
