Week's End Report - Dec. 4, 2015

Tip of the Week

BBRD101: Blackboard 9 Faculty Training is required of all faculty, both online and face-to-face prior to teaching. (For more information see ASOM policy 7.5.) 

Successfully completing BBRD101 allows faculty to teach face-to-face or hybrid courses. In order to teach online, faculty need to have successfully completed:

• BBRD101 and IVYC101, or 
• BBRD101 and IVYC110 and IVYC112, or
• BBRD101 and IVYC110 and currently registered for IVYC112, may teach online with a mentor

If you have not already completed BBRD101 (or it's predecessor BBRD291X), log in to Blackboard and look for BBRD101 under "Courses where you are: Student." 

If you are not currently enrolled in BBRD101 speak with your program chair or regional Online Technologies Coordinator (OTC). Whenever possible, sign up for BBRD101 at your own region to help your program chair and OTC track your certification.

Website Update

The course setup checklists for Spring 2016 have been added to the Getting Started website. When you gain access to your courses after December 14th, you may begin setting them up using the information provided in those checklists. For faculty in Lafayette and Kokomo, the information contained on those forms will be used during course checks. Please note that some information has changed from last semester so please be sure to check the list and update your syllabi accordingly.
