<ol>
<li>Students are added to course shells two days before the semester begins.</li> 

<li>Students will only see courses that have been activated by the instructor.</li> 

<li>Not all instructors use Bb and you are not likely to see all your courses.</li> 

<li>If you are a continuing student you are likely to see your courses from the previous semester.
<ul>
<li>See the Getting Started module below to learn how to hide old course shells.</li>
<li>Instructors can deactivate a course when it is over, and you will not see deactivated courses.</li>
</ul>
</li> 

<li>All members of the university community should use the Chrome web browser with Blackboard: 
''[https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ Download Chrome]''</li> 

<li>Please refer questions regarding course content (where is the test?) to your instructor, but questions involving use of Blackboard (how do I reply to a discussion board post?) should be directed to the Online Help Desk:

== Standard Practices ==

<h4>The Basics!</h4>

Standard practices are the conventions followed by faculty and the Blackboard support staff in order to guarantee that the semester gets off to a smooth start. Adhering standard practices guarantee a common experience: students are added to the courses on the same day. It also helps guarantee clear, commonly understood communication between instructors and [http://www.wpunj.edu/irt/ctlt/index.html Teaching with Technology] staff.

<ol>
<li>'''Students are added to course shells two days prior to the start of the semester'''.</li>
<li>Instructors can '''[http://www.wpunj.edu/bb/faculty/email-students-early.pdf communicate with students] before they are added to shells''' </li>
<li>Instructors are '''responsible for [https://itwiki.wpunj.edu/index.php/Category:Blackboard_-_Faculty#Activate_course_shell activating their course shells]'''; students will not be able to participate in, or even see, course shells until they're activated. The exception are courses taught completely online.</li>
<li>Course shells are identified by the year/semester - department and course number - course section
Example: 
201840-hist1010-80
Semester designations: Spring: 10 - Summer: 25 - Fall: 40 - Winter: 50</li>
<li>The version of Blackboard we use is called Learn In Blackboard Corp. documentation look for Learn and ignore references to Ultra except in relation to Blackboard Collaborate.
</ol>

<h4>Copy course content -- Transfer course content within and between semesters </h4>
Support: 
[http://www.wpunj.edu/bb/faculty/copy-course-content.pdf PDF document] --
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV5Qz5BIsso Youtube video] 
Notes: 
<ol>
<li>Starting July 1, 2018 faculty are responsible for managing all their intellectual property between and within semesters.</li>
<li>To copy a course the instructor must be the instructor of record on both the origin and destination course. Professor Green cannot copy course material into a course in which Professor Blue is listed as the instructor.</li>
<li>If two faculty agree to share content within or between semesters we need to see consent from both parties.</li>

== Standard Practices ==

<h4>The Basics!</h4>

Standard practices are the conventions followed by faculty and the Blackboard support staff in order to guarantee that the semester gets off to a smooth start. Adhering standard practices guarantee a common experience: students are added to the courses on the same day. It also helps guarantee clear, commonly understood communication between instructors and [http://www.wpunj.edu/irt/ctlt/index.html Teaching with Technology] staff.

<ol>
<li>'''Students are added to course shells two days prior to the start of the semester'''.</li>
<li>Instructors can '''[http://www.wpunj.edu/bb/faculty/email-students-early.pdf communicate with students] before they are added to shells''' </li>
<li>Instructors are '''responsible for [https://itwiki.wpunj.edu/index.php/Category:Blackboard_-_Faculty#Activate_course_shell activating their course shells]'''; students will not be able to participate in, or even see, course shells until they're activated. The exception are courses taught completely online.</li>
<li>Course shells are identified by the year/semester - department and course number - course section
Example: 
201840-hist1010-80
Semester designations: Spring: 10 - Summer: 25 - Fall: 40 - Winter: 50</li>
<li>The version of Blackboard we use is called Learn In Blackboard Corp. documentation look for Learn and ignore references to Ultra except in relation to Blackboard Collaborate.
</ol>

<h4>Copy course content -- Transfer course content within and between semesters </h4>
Support:

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV5Qz5BIsso Youtube video] 
Notes: 
<ol>
<li>Starting July 1, 2018 faculty are responsible for managing all their intellectual property between and within semesters.</li>
<li>To copy a course the instructor must be the instructor of record on both the origin and destination course. Professor Green cannot copy course material into a course in which Professor Blue is listed as the instructor.</li>
<li>If two faculty agree to share content within or between semesters we need to see consent from both parties.</li>
