Step 1: Development Phase
If this is the first time you’ve used Blackboard for a course, you need to request the “development” course section in Blackboard where you can develop your course. Go to http://www.tltc.ttu.edu/blackboard/courserequest.asp and fill out an individual form for each Blackboard course you would like created.
Step 2: Live Semester-based Phase:
Then, once you have developed the course, you will need to request the “live” course rollover shell that will be connected to Banner and auto-populated with all the students for the course. Go to http://appserv.itts.ttu.edu/BlackboardCourseRequest/default.aspx to request that shell. Something to remember – you must fill out this request form each semester in order to request the semester-based Blackboard “live” course shell. You will see enrolled students in the Gradebook, but they will not have access to the course until two days before the semester begins.
