Hi Tom/Stephen,
It's funny that this WebPA issue has actually cropped up just now because recently someone reported a similar thing happening with Xerte LTI integration so I'm wondering whether Blackboard has changed something recently which is causing this - it's a bit too coincidental...

Subject: Re: Blackboard integration
I see no reason why it should not be working with that version of Learn
9. Have you seen it working since upgrading to Q2 2017? However, the
version of the building block is now 2.5 years old, I would recommend
that you try updating this to see if that has any effect.
