All Spring 2005 courses have been loaded into the new CUNY Blackboard
system. If you have been associated with a course for the spring semester,
that course will now be listed after you log in to CUNY Blackboard.
Student rosters have also been loaded.
CUNY Blackboard can only be accessed through the CUNY Portal at
http://www.cuny.edu. If you have not yet registered for the CUNY Portal,
please review the information at http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/cunyportal/ .
To request course recycles please use the on-line form at
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/bctc/blackboard/faculty/recycling.html . We
will not process requests for course recycles from Fall 2004 until this
semester ends. Recycles from earlier semesters are available now.
The new version of Blackboard 6 includes faculty control over course merges
(combining several sections or rosters into one Blackboard course site).
Information on this feature may be found at
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/bctc/blackboard/faculty/blackboard6/merge.htm .
If your courses are not listed on Blackboard, it is very likely that you
are not the official instructor of the course yet. Please check with your
department chair to confirm that your teaching assignment has been
submitted to the Registrar's Office and to Human Resources.
All courses are created as "Unavailable". This means that the instructor
can see the course, but students cannot. Information on how to make the
course available to enrolled students may be found at
http://faculty.baruch.cuny.edu/teaching/availability.htm .
Training workshops will be posted at
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/bctc/training/faculty_training.html in January.
In addition, departmental chairs or groups of faculty may request group
instruction by contacting me directly.
For general questions about the system, please contact the BCTC Help Desk
at (646) 312-1010.
