Blackboard Organizations are distinct from Courses because they are not term based. Faculties/departments use organizations for various purposes: communication centres, program information, etc. You can be given Leader-Advanced role to manually enroll participants (students, other instructors) or you can ask for a self-enroll organization.
-
Make a request by emailing Service Desk: servicedesk@douglascollege.ca
-
In your request, clearly state:
-
Your proposed name for the organization.
-
Whether you would like the self-enroll option or you will enroll participants manually for your organization.
-
Whether you want the self-enroll to be ongoing or have clear start and end dates.
-
Whether you want an access code. If so, please provide the text (numbers or letters) to use for the code.
-
-
You will be notified via email when your request has been completed.
-
If you made a request for a new organization, log into Blackboard. Click Organizations from the global navigation menu. Click your organization and build out your Ultra organization as you see fit.
-
To invite participants to join, copy the Organization URL in your browser window. For example:
“douglascollege.blackboard.com/ultra/organizations/_140672_1/outline”
-
Send the link via email to your target audience: students or instructors. Recipients select the link, which takes them to the self-enrollment page. After they self-enroll, the organization will appear in their list of Organizations. Note: Students have to be logged into Blackboard before accessing the organization link.
