Blackboard Instructors: Are you ready for the Fall 2015 semester?
Please review the Prepare Your Course for the Semester info which 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 have access only 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.
Please contact the Distance and Online Learning Help Desk for assistance at DLHelp@hvc.edu or call 629-7070.
