• We will be deleting all courses that are over 2 years old this summer.

To post your instructor contact information, etc.:
Control Panel > Staff Information > Enter your contact information > email me to arrange a time to meet in virtual office hours area and your email response policy (24 hour response during the week, 48 hours on weekends is typical) > scroll down and click the Submit button

To meet a student in the Virtual Office Hours area:
Communication content button > Collaboration > Office Hours - click the Join button (student will need same instructions)

For logical course design and ease of student navigation:
Control Panel > Manage Course Menu

• Alphabetize your course content buttons:
  Use drop down menu to the left of each item to change numbering order
• Turn off all buttons that have no content:
  Deselect "Available for Student/Participant Users" > Submit
• Change names of course content button

To see all participants in your course:
Control Panel > List/Modify Users > Search button

• You can also reset student passwords in this display
• If you see an @ symbol where your email address should be, this means you have not entered your email in SIS (student information system) and marked it as preferred.
  - The email address you enter into SIS and select as preferred will flow through to Blackboard.
  - See the Distance Learning Support Center > Faculty folder, top left for instructions.
• Reminder - please do not manually enroll users (students) - it causes a problem when snapshot tries to enroll the same student from registration information (SIS)
