MakingBlackboardCourseAvailable

Coppin State University automatically creates a Blackboard course site for every class that is officially offered each semester. However, all the course sites are set up as “unavailable” so that the instructor can go in and set up the course site before the students come in to it.

If you are the instructor-of-record (shown in EagleLINKS) for a course, you can log in to Blackboard and make the course "available" so that students can see it.

 

1. Log in to Blackboard http://eaglebb.coppin.edu

2. Go to your course site – you will see the word “unavailable” next to the name of your course, indicating that only the instructor can access the course site; students cannot access it.

3. In the Control Panel section in the lower left side of the screen click Customization. The Customization section expands and displays more options. Click Properties.

4. On the Properties screen, scroll down to section 3, Set Availability.

5. For the setting Make Course Available, select Yes.

6. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the Submit button.

Students will now be able to see the Blackboard course site for your class.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are NOT the instructor-of-record, talk with your department chair to make sure the necessary paperwork is put through to the Registrar. You need to be the instructor-of-record in order to submit grades for students in EagleLINKS, see the class roster, and access the Blackboard course site.
