On-campus blackboard course Planning
Course Setup
-
Undergraduate course shells are automatically created, with the following exceptions; competency, dissertation, independent study, internship, and thesis courses. Faculty must add a new course template or copy content from an existing course at the
Blackboard Course Setup website
. Please connect to VPN in order to use this app, if off-campus.
Blackboard Access Forms
(TAs, LAs, Graders, & Secondary Instructors) - TAs have the same level of access as Instructors. Graders only have access to the Grade Center. They are added to the course in SIS by the Registrar. On-Campus Blackboard enrollments are fed from SIS every hour on the half hour.
My Courses Management
(pdf) - Every semester your list of courses on the My Courses module gets larger; this job aid shows how you can hide non-essential courses from your list.
Attendance App
- There are several ways to electronically capture attendance in your class. This page has a description of the Attendance App created by Web Services and the attendance tool within Blackboard.
Login Problems
- Set your password retrieval security questions at the
UMass Lowell Mypassword website
to reset your password anytime including after hours. If you forget the answers to your security questions, you will have to contact the
IT Service Desk
during normal business hours.
