A System Extension is a .zip or .war file that is created to extend the functionality of the core Blackboard Learning System. Enable Extension Tools allows the Instructor to manage all these outside tools that the System Administrator has made available, with the exception of those related to content. Instructors can also choose which System Extension tools will be available for Guests to view. System Extensions are not available to Observers.
