Are you having trouble finding the right course in your ‘My Courses’ list on Blackboard?
This handy video may save you some time.
We’ve put together a series of very short (~1 minute) videos with some of our top tips for Blackboard course design:

Topics include: improving your menu, decluttering your course, and previewing as a student.
As an Instructor, if under “My Courses” on your Blackboard home page you see “not currently available” or “unavailable” after the course name, this means the course is unavailable to students. Instructors can still access and edit the course.
Once your course is ready for students to use, ensure that it is made available as follows:
Your course is now available to students.
You can also use the Qwickly tool on your Blackboard Home page (this does not currently work for Hub courses). Click Course Availability and turn the On/Off button next to the course to the required state.
We are currently collecting information on critical activities for Blackboard and QuestionMark Perception for this coming academic year. Critical activities are those for which it is essential that TEL systems such as Blackboard or QMP are available, such as assignment submissions or online exams.
Critical activity information is very important as it is used to schedule downtime for essential maintenance to Blackboard, QMP and other systems with the least disruption to you and your students. The information also helps us and IT Services to more effectively support students and staff in the event of an unexpected disruption to Blackboard, QMP, Turnitin or related services (such as MyBristol).
Please click this link http://tinyurl.com/zjb8szf and follow the instructions outlined in the form to send us the required information.
Thank you very much
