Please (keep or remove) the discussion board threads.

Textbooks for Spring 2025

If you are still investigating integration with Blackboard, make sure to get it done soon. Check-in with your textbook rep. If it's your first time using an integration, check with Scott Lambert. If you are using textbook integration, you should start building in your live shell.

Student Access to Blackboard (Course Availability)

If your class indicates “Private, " the course is unavailable to students. You have access and can build your course, but students will not have access until the “Available on” date.
Students are enrolled two weeks before the start of the semester. Students will be enrolled for Spring and Spring 1, 2025 courses on January 5, 2024.
If your class indicates “Open,” this means the course is open and available to students.
If you prepare announcements beforehand, please set a date using “Date Restricted” for the date when you want students to see your Announcements. This is to prevent emails and app notifications from being sent to students as you prepare your course.

Upload Your Syllabi

Winter 2024 and Spring 2025
