SmartEvals Links in Blackboard

The SmartEvals course evaluation link appears by default in all new course shells. Each reminder email received from SmartEvals also includes a link to login the system; however, when accessed through Blackboard, SmartEvals recognizes users based on their Blackboard login credentials.
