[BB] New way to add people to your Blackboard sites

It is now possible to add someone to your course and give them special rights (TA, instructor, etc.) in one step, "Add Users by Role."  This link is found in the "Course Tools" section of the Control Panel.   I would encourage you to use it all the time, even if you are adding someone as a student, since it also provides more feedback than the "Enroll User" system in Blackboard.
 
The Course Tools section of the Control Panel contains links to the based Blackboard tools and the add ins that we have installed.  Advanced Group Management, Discussion Grader, Safe Assignments, and now Add Users by Role are all in this area.
