Using Blackboard for your Course
All courses should receive a shell for a Blackboard course. Initially this shell is turned off - or unavailable. All instructors automatically receive a Blackboard account to access this course shell.
The Blackboard course can be turned on in one of three ways
- instructor makes the course available
- library creates a resources page and makes the course available
- instructor provides reserves to library, who incorporate reserves into the Blackboard shell and make the course available
Additionally, you can get help setting up your Blackboard course. Please contact Pam Harvey (pamela.harvey@rochester.edu) or Eric Likness (eric.likness@rochester.edu) for assistance.
