Blackboard Faculty,
Blackboard is now available to prepare the Summer 2016 courses. Please let us know if you find anything unusual or have any concerns as you are preparing your courses. A Campus Chronicle Article has been published about the College’s transition to Blackboard’s Software as a Service (SaaS) Model. Please read the full article here.
The Prepare Your Course for the Semester info can be found at: https://docs.hvcc.edu/dl/?p=1199
Remember as you are exporting and importing courses, the process may take some time depending on how many other courses are queued. Please DO NOT submit multiple times or it could take even longer. Call the Center for Distance and Online Learning if you need assistance.
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 these steps:
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! Remember that help is available on the weekend!
