How to Add other Users to Your Course

Any user with the course role of Instructor has the ability to add other users to his or her course. Only users with an existing account in Blackboard Learn can be enrolled.

All users in a course have a role which defines what can or cannot be done in the course. Before adding the user to the course, consider what role you will grant the user by reviewing the Course Roles page.

Users can be enrolled by doing the following:

• 1. Access the course in which you want to enroll users, and click Manage Users under Course Tools on the left

If you do not have a Manage Users option under Course Tools, you can enable the Manage Users tool by clicking Tool Availability under Customization.

Click the check box beside Manage Users

Click Submit at the top or bottom of the page.

2. Click Add Users by Role

3. If you know the MacEwan usernames (e.g. SmithJ21) of the users you wish to enroll, enter the usernames separated by commas in the Username(s) field.

If you do not know the usernames of the users you wish to enroll, you can search using the Search box at the top of the page. You can search by Last Name, First Name, Username, Email address or Person ID (student ID / staff ID). Click Go.

Select the users from the results and click Submit.

4.Select a Course Role for the users to be enrolled. Users can be added as Instructor, Course Builder, Grader, Teaching Assistant, Student, or Guest.

For descriptions of how users with each of the course roles can interact with the course please see the Course Roles page.

5) Click Submit at the bottom. The users you have specified are now added to the course.

***PLEASE NOTE***

While instructors have the ability to enroll users in his/her course, they do not have the ability to modify roles of existing users in their course (e.g. change a user's role from Student to Instructor), nor do they have the ability to remove users from his/her course.

If you wish to remove any users from your course which were added using the Manage Users tool, please email blackboard@macewan.ca with the specific course and users to be removed, and a Blackboard administrator will remove the users.
