SAU Blackboard Administrators' Course Creation Guidelines:
Course Creation and Student Enrollment: Blackboard administrators will be responsible for creating courses and enrolling students according to the following parameters:
Course
Creation:
To request that a course be created and/or made available to students, fill out the Course Activation Request Form or submit an email containing the course name, number, section, instructor, and semester to BlackboardSupport@sau.edu.
Courses for credit will be made available to students when the courses have names and numbers that correspond to the SAU course catalog. A professor may work on a course for the future without it being available to students.
A test course can be created
for any faculty or staff member to practice using Blackboard and practice
developing online course materials; however, test courses are inaccessible to
students. To make test courses accessible to students, a course name and number
corresponding to the SAU course catalog must be provided, and requested elements
will be copied into the new course.
Blackboard administrators will be responsible for recycling courses for use each new semester at the request of the faculty member.
Training classes introducing
elements of Blackboard and online instructional design to faculty members are
provided by Blackboard administrators in face-to-face and online format.
Blackboard administrators are available to complete technology projects involving Blackboard and/or instructional technologies used in face-to-face teaching, including training faculty in the use of the technology or completing a project for the faculty member. Requests should be submitted by email to BlackboardSupport@sau.edu or in person to the Center for Instructional Design and Technology, Hayes 100.
Students will be allowed
access to an online course by Blackboard administrators.
No student will be allowed
access to a course for credit that is not enrolled in the course according to
the policies of the registrar.
Blackboard administrators
should be notified of all add/drops.
Blackboard administrators will
assign students’ email addresses in accordance with SAU email policy (see
below)
Student Email Address: Students will be enrolled in Blackboard courses with their SAU email address as the default email for the following reasons:
Blackboard instructors and other users must be ensured that email will reach the student
SAU email is dependable and reliable when used in Blackboard, as opposed to other web-based, commercially provided email services.
Students' SAU email address doesn't change, as opposed to commercially provided services which can change at a student's whim. The University cannot keep up with these changes, and therefore provides the student with a dependable address that does not change.
Studenst should realize that important documents will be sent to them from the business, financial aid, and registrar's offices of SAU to their college email addresses. Students will be held accountable for content sent to this email address by the University, including classwork and assignments sent from Blackboard.
