• How to access Blackboard
• What online courses look like
• How to find course materials
• How to submit assignments
• ... and more!

Getting Started Webinars

Getting Started in Your Online Course webinars have begun! These webinars are a great opportunity for students to get a quick orientation to online learning at Ivy Tech. Please consider distributing this link to your students in your summer courses.

To register for the Getting Started Webinars, visit: http://bit.ly/GetStartedOnlineSummer2015

Webinars are free of charge to students and offered on multiple dates and times. Encourage your students to attend, even if they have taken an online course before they will likely learn something new.

Course Merge Requests

Please be sure to submit your course merge requests soon! Once the courses become available to students (24 hours before the courses begin) they are no longer eligible to be merged.

Course merge requests can be submitted here: http://bit.ly/mergerequest

Please make sure you thoroughly review the Course Merge FAQs document prior to filling out a merge request!

Self-Enroll Module Access Reminder

Self-Enroll Module access from Spring 2015 has been removed. In order to get access to the module for summer, please speak with your program chairs or deans about requesting access.

For more information about the Self-Enroll Module, click here: http://bit.ly/selfenrollinfo

When using the Self-Enroll Module, please be aware that courses become available through the module 24 hours prior to the beginning of the semester (at the same time courses become available to students). To gain immediate access to the course you would need to be added to the course through Banner, however once you have been added to the course in Banner you will no longer be able to access the course through the Self-Enroll Module, even if your enrollment is removed from Banner.
