Why 3D models?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

3D models are useful in a multitude of disciplines: archaeology, architecture, anatomy, biology, geology, engineering and so on. This post will show you how to quickly embed models from Sketchfab into your Blackboard course in 5 simple steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sketchfab is the world’s largest platform to publish, share, and discover 3D content on web, mobile, AR, and VR. The content is of variable quality, but a number of University, Museum and Government organisations have accounts and produce high-quality models. You don’t need an account to be able to embed content in your Blackboard course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Open a browser tab for Sketchfab<\/a> and search for content that would be useful in your course. I’m going to use the Blue Whale from the Natural History Museum’s Imaging account as an example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you’ve found the model you want to use, open up another browser tab and log into Blackboard<\/a>. Choose the course and the content area that you want to embed the model into. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Back to the Sketchfab tab. Look underneath the model for the Embed button. There are a number of options for customisation but I tend to leave it to the default settings. Copy the iframe code in the box at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Create an item in your Blackboard course. Give it a title and a bit of preamble text to tell your students what they should do with the model, e.g. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Explore this 3D model of the skeleton and don’t forget to read the annotation notes! What did you think of the decision to swap a dinosaur for a Blue Whale in Hintze Hall? Tell us in the discussion board thread on this topic. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Then look for the html button on the bottom right corner of the Item toolbar and click on it. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Step 5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paste the iframe code from Sketchfab into this box. It will look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hit the update button…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Er, hang on. I just get a yellow box in my Item window. Is it broken?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you can see a yellow box like this in the editing window:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Don’t worry, it’s not broken. It will look like this until you finish editing and hit Submit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

et voil\u00e0! This is how the model will look in your course (I’ve turned edit mode off): <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Give it a try…<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you do give this a go, please let us know what you and your students think of using this kind of learning object. You can either get in touch with Digital Learning<\/a> or share your experiences in our Digital Learning Connect Team<\/a> (our peer learning network for educators across the university).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
