Faculty who are teaching both graduate and undergraduate students in one course often end up with two course web sites. This is because Blackboard course sites are created automatically from the course information in the Registrar's database. To merge multiple courses into one on Blackboard please contact OTM with the course numbers for the courses you would like to combine and, also, please indicate which course you would like to be the master course. The master course will be the course that you edit on Blackboard. It is best if the master course is the course that has the most students registered in it. The Office of Technology Management will make sure that all of the students have access to the Blackboard material. If a student registers late for one of the merged courses that is not the Master class, please contact OTM requesting for the student to have access to the Blackboard material. This process is manual and will usually be completed in three to five business days.
How do I make my course available to students?
By default, course are initially unavailable to students so that faculty can revise a course as necessary without students seeing all of the changes. Only once you have completed changes and are ready for students to get in to the course will you make the course available to students. This is something you must do each semester. For the easy steps showing how to do this go to Make a Course Available.
What's the difference between Course Copy and Export?
...
Export/Import - Use "Export Course" to save all or parts of the course structure. Exporting does not include student activities or student roster. This feature only exports the information created in the course and gives the option to select individual content areas to be exported into an existing course. The exported course will be saved as a .zip file and may be imported into a different course. For more information, go to Export A Course and Import Course Content.
