Blackboard Course Requests
 

           
     

Blackboard Course Site Requests: Instructors are required to submit an email request to mitchelm@faytechcc.edu for Blackboard courses sites each semester. The email must contain the information listed below. Requests for Spring 2010 courses MUST be submitted by January 7th at 2:00 p.m. Creation of Online, Hybrid and Web Assisted course sites take precedence over the creation of face to face courses.

Information required is listed below. If incorrect information is received, it is the instructor's responsibility to clean up and correct their courses.

Include these items:
1. Which semester will the course be offered?
2. What are the Course Prefix and Number: (ex. ACA 115)
3. What is the Section Number of the course(s)?
4. If you are teaching multiple sections of the same course, would you like separate sections or a single section?
5. Is this a new course offering?
- If not, which semester would you like the course copied from?
- Were you the instructor?

Instructors are responsible for their course content.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are submitting a request for multiple courses, you can use the information listed above to create a list.

Additional examples for course requests are listed below. Make absolutely clear what content you would like in your course...this means either a course previously taught by you, someone else, an EOT, Bb BootCamp or FTCC's new course template. This information is critical for you to initially receive the correct information in your site. If incorrect information is received, it is the instructor's responsibility to clean up and correct their courses. It may be 3-5 days before your courses are ready to access.

If any of your course section numbers change for sites already on Blackboard, send an email to mitchelm@faytechcc.edu right away. If someone else already has a course on Blackboard with that section number, an email verification is required from your Program Coordinator, Division Chair or Department Chair stating that it is alright to remove the current site from Blackboard.

Blackboard course sites need a correct course ID number each semester to ensure that students are enrolled in the Blackboard site that matches their registration form. Course ID example: CIS 110 0904 for Fall 2009, course ID would be 2009FA.CIS.110.0904
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Student ID's will be created for Blackboard on Friday, January 8th at approx. 3 p.m. Students will be batch enrolled into Blackboard course sites Friday, January8th h at approx. 4:00 p.m. Blackboard enrollment updates will continue through January 15th each morning by 10 a.m.

Students that area not listed in Blackboard:

  • May be listed as a Continuing Education student in Datatel. The registrar's office needs to be contacted to change the student's status to Curriculum.
  • Student's may have changed their last name and the change was not updated in Datatel. Check the student's ID number and first name to see if the student if on your roster.

Students cannot be listed in Blackboard until their Datatel record is correct.
