With the new semester fast approaching, here are some useful ideas from the TEL team:
Accessing new modules
New modules appear on Blackboard 13 days before their official start date. If you cannot see modules you believe you should be seeing, it probably means you need to be added to them. You can be added to a module by any colleague who you know has access to it, or by your Course Leader or Head of Subject. If there are any problems, contact TEL Support: http://www.uwl.ac.uk/tel-support/contact-us
New modules are invisible to students by default and you need to make them available to them when you are ready: http://www.uwl.ac.uk/tel-support/blackboard/blackboard-course-management
Preparing new modules
While you are working on the online materials for the new semester, it may be useful to check if your modules on Blackboard follow the UWL Blackboard Baseline: http://uwlteltoolkit.edublogs.org/blackboard-baseline/ and the Blackboard Good Design guidelines: http://uwlteltoolkit.edublogs.org/blackboard-good-design-guidelines/
