Last year we released the ability for departments and advisers to communicate with your constituents. We’ve greatly expanded the options for how those sites can be automatically populated with students. In particular, we can now identify students based on:
- Their College, department, major, concentration, or degree code
- Their education level (Freshmen, Sophomore, Undergrad, Grad, etc.)
- Their home campus
- By Course SubjectName, CourseNumber, or section (i.e. LAE, 4414, or 001)
Even better, we can build up aggregations of these criteria, so that you don’t need to maintain multiple organizations sites.
For example, you can have a single organization that is automatically populated with students who are either
1) Tampa Industrial Engineering students
-or-
2) Undergraduate Students on Polytechnic campus taking course EEL4411
Awesome, no?
These sites are full-fledged Blackboard sites. They are very useful for sending email to the students you advise, and can also be used to make available departmental documents such as program requirements, graduation applications, course authorization request forms, and any other departmental paperwork you maintain. A discussion board is available to foster communication amongst your members. File uploads, announcements, surveys, everything you can do in a Blackboard course you can do here.
If you or your college or department is interested in one or more of these organizations, please fill out the brief request form located within Blackboard on the Organizations tab “Organization/Community Request” module.
