Blackboard Course Site Setup Information

 

Due to the Blackboard 9 upgrade, all Fall 2010 course request forms must be submitted by July 30th in order to be completed prior to the upgrade beginning on August 12th. 

 

You must know the Colleague course number and section prior to completing the form.  For example:  ART-1010-DL01, EGL-1320-HY02, PSY-1010-LE04, etc.  We do not use the synonym number for Blackboard.

 

You may submit summer 2010 and fall 2010 Bb course requests now, however, online course setup has priority. You will receive an email once your request is complete.

 

We will begin processing requests based on the following schedule:

• Summer 2010 Online and Hybrid:  setup will begin April 5, 2010
• Summer 2010 On-Campus:  setup will begin April 19, 2010
• Fall 2010 Online and Hybrid:  setup will begin April 27, 2010
• Fall 2010 On-Campus:  setup will begin June 7, 2010

 

How to Expedite the Processing of Your Request

 

To expedite the processing of your request, you can:

 

1. Use the correct Course Form.  There is a different course form for Summer 2010 (online and on-campus) and Fall 2010 (online and on-campus).  Be sure to select the appropriate form for the course setup you are requesting.
    
2. Verify the Course Number and Section you are teaching before entering it on the Request Form.  This information is assigned to you by your department chair.  It is not safe to assume it is the same as previous semesters.
    
3. Copy the course materials using the Control Panel.  Rather than requesting course materials be copied by the eLearning Services, you can copy the course materials from your previous course from the Control Panel.  For detailed instructions on how to copy your course materials, please visit this link, Course Copy Instructions.
    
4. Be patient -- You will receive an email once your course request is complete.  Each semester, we receive 800+ requests for Blackboard Course Site setup.  We often receive numerous emails and phone calls asking about the status of the course request.  The time we spend responding to these emails and calls delays processing of the course setup.  Please know that we work diligently to process all course requests as quickly as possible with online and hybrid courses having priority.
    
5. Describe special requirements for your online course(s).  Please specify any special requirements as well as exams to be taken on-campus (i.e., midterm, final, all exams, etc.) in the comments section of the form.

 

By doing the 5 steps above, you will assist us tremendously in completing the processing of your course form.

If you have questions about the Blackboard Course Site setup, please contact the eLearning Services Office at eLearning@pgcc.edu or 301-322-0463.
