What is a Building Block? A Building Block is simply a set of files installed on the Blackboard Web/app server in a way that is structured
so the server has predefined entry points to call upon the functionality of the Building Block

How do we install it? Building Block applications are deployed as packaged files and installed through the System Administrator
