All of the
courses that you are scheduled to teach should appear. Check the boxes for
those you want setup in Bb and then select Request. You will see a list
of the courses you requested. You can expect to see your sites in Bb within
24 hours. |
|
After you click on the "Request" button, you will see the following note: Your request has been submitted. Once your college's Blackboard
administrator approves your request, the course(s) will be available to you
in Blackboard. If you don't want to see the course(s) in Blackboard until
the new semester nears, you can hide the course by clicking the pencil icon
at the top of My Courses in Blackboard. Just remember to display it again
prior to the first day of classes.

Important notes:
1. This new process applies to all Bb instructors - those who teach online and
hybrid courses, as well as those who use Bb to enhance their face-to-face
courses.
2. After you submit your requests, the Blackboard Administrator on duty will approve them (usually within 24
hours), and your courses will be available in Bb a couple of hours later. If you
don't want to see the courses so early in Bb before the next semester begins,
you can click the pencil icon above your course list on the My Institution
and/or Courses page to hide the courses from your view.
3. If you need to merge courses or sections into one Bb shell, use the drop-down lists at the right on the Blackboard Course
Site Request page in Class Web. For developmental sites / special requests, Click on request a developmental site / special requests.
4. You can begin copying content into your new sites whenever you want. If
you are still adding content in your current courses, you might want to wait until
the end of the semester. Here are the copying
instructions.
5. If you have already requested all of your future-term sites, you don't need
to request them again. Be sure to login to Blackboard to
verify that they are setup.
6. There is no deadline to request your sites, but obviously, you'll want to do
this prior to the beginning of the next semester.
