[BB] Academic Resources tab in Blackboard

Blackboard list members,

 

A new tab was added to the Blackboard system today: Academic Resources.  Most of you log in and go directly to your courses and probably don't even notice the tabs very much.  Please click on this tab and tell me if you can think of any items that need to be added or changed. 

 

A member of the Honor Council called me today and asked whether a link to their citation guides could be put on Blackboard in order to reduce plagiarism.  This is a response to that request that goes beyond plagiarism issues to include many academic resources that a student might find helpful.  We will be promoting it on the Home page in various ways, to increase student awareness of it.

[BB] Spring course sites

Blackboard teachers,

 

The spring course sites have been created, and students are being added to the course sites the day after they register for the courses. 

 

To access your spring course sites at this time, click on the "All Courses" tab in Blackboard.  The spring course sites should be at the bottom of the list.

 

If you would like any spring sections combined, so that you have one Blackboard site that includes multiple sections or listings for the same course, please go to the "Support" tab in Blackboard, click on the "Online Forms" link, and then click on the "Course Merge" link to access the on-line form.  Part of our process is manual, so it may take two work days to complete this particular request.
