Blackboard
and MySite = Automated Integration
The
long awaited MySite/Blackboard integration has been completed
thanks to the brave souls that volunteered to pilot the project
and the persistence of Jim and Jay.
Although this
process is automated, there is a step you’ll need to complete
in order to associate your course ticket numbers with Blackboard.

STEP
1: Log into MySite
as usual

STEP
2: Go to your WORK
tab
STEP
3: Select VIEW CURRENT
SCHEDULE
STEP4:
Find the ticket number of the course you want to associate with
Blackboard and select MANAGE (under the website category)

STEP
5:
Select the option that best suits your needs
OPTION 1: Create a new BB Account = Actually creates the ticket number in Blackboard and
automatically generates your bb EMPTY course shell associated
with the ticket number
OPTION 2: Associate an existing BB
account = already created accounts in BB are associated with
the ticket number another one so all your rosters are placed in
that course
OPTION 3: Create External Class Link
= external links can be created to other outside urls (not just
blackboard) – THIS IS AN EITHER OR not both!
IF YOU ASSOCIATE WITH AN OUTSIDE TICKET, YOU CAN’T ASSOCIATE A
BB ACCOUNT

The DEFAULT
setting for the course is "unavailable." So you will
need to make the course available manually.
