Adding and deleting users in your Blackboard Course or Organization

Adding Users

The steps to add instructors, teaching assistants and graders to your courses were changed due to concerns about FERPA compliance.

Please request the addition of others to your Blackboard site through the IT service desk at 859-622-3000 or the Web form at http://it.eku.edu/it-desktop-support-ticket.

Blackboard Discussions

Online discussions provide unique benefits.  Because students can take time to ponder before they post ideas, you may see more thoughtful conversations.  You can observe as students demonstrate their grasp of the material and correct misconceptions.  You can extend your student hours and reach students more often during the week so that learning is continuous.
