* I teach 2 sections of the same course. Can I combine them in Blackboard?

Yes  you can combine two or more courses on Blackboard.  To do so, you need to fill out a Multiple Section request form found on FCLD’s website: http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/fcld/CoreReq.htm.


When you request a Multiple Section course, a new blank course will be created for you that contains the enrollments from all the sections you requested.  If you added content to one of your single-section courses, you will need to copy that content over to your multi-section course.


Your single-section courses will still be accessible to you should you decide to use those instead.  It is advisable that you keep those courses unavailable to students so as not to confuse them.

* I teach 2 sections of the same course. How do I tell them apart in Blackboard?


You can modify the name of your course slightly to identify the different sections of your course.  To do this:
  • Enter the Blackboard course and go to Control Panel > Customization > Properties.
  • Look at the Course ID for your course to find your CRN.
  • Under Course Name, you can change the name of the course to identify the section (e.g. “ENG140 Introduction to Literature – Monday, 2:30”).  Be careful not to change the name too drastically, as this is how students find your course on their Blackboard homepage.
