Blackboard Instructors: Are you ready for the Spring 2016 semester?
Please review the Prepare Your Course for the Semester information that can be found at:
https://docs.hvcc.edu/dl/?p=1199
Remember as you are exporting and importing courses, the process may take a while depending on how many other courses are queued. Please DO NOT submit multiple times or it will take even longer. Call the Center for Distance and Online Learning if you need assistance.
Also, if you do not use Bb Collaborate Tools, please do not select them as items to export or import, or else you will get a “failure” notice even though your course successfully imports.
Don’t Forget to Make Your Course Available
Once the semester begins, students will only have access to a course that has been made available by the course instructor. You must manually make your course(s) available in Blackboard in order for students to see them.
To set the course availability, follow the steps below.
From the Control Panel of your course:
–Select Customization
–Select Properties
–Locate Step 3: Set Availability and select Yes, “Make Course Available”
–Select Submit
—A green confirmation bar will appear indicating that the properties have been updated.
As always, please do not hesitate to contact the Center for Distance and Online Learning (629-7070/DLHelp@hvcc.edu) if you have any questions!
