Request BB Course and Other BB Spaces
Course instructors are required to request term-based Blackboard
courses
every semester using Campus-wide
ELMS Management system or many times referred as "LOT
Tool". You will be notified via e-mail regarding the course
setup along with some basic information and instructions. Faculty and
staff can request other non-term-based spaces such as Master Courses and
Organization spaces as well.
Use ELMS Management Tool to request All Blackboard spaces
Request Term-based Courses:
Login to BB system at
http://bb.rhsmith.umd.edu
--> go to "Faculty" tab --> click on "Request a Course
or Organization Space", ELMS-mgmt page with link to "Request
ELMS Space" will be showing. Click on Single Courses, Default
Template (in almost all the cases), or Multiple-Course space (for
cross-listed courses only), courses you are going to teach in that
semester will be listed. Hit on the corresponding "Request Space" link,
your request is sent. Usually within 2-3 hours, your course will be
ready. The system will send the instructor an approval message with some
basic information and instructions when it processes the request.
Note that the courses you are requesting should have been registered in
SIS already with your named listed as Instructor. You can verify
the course info from
Testudo
and your UMEG account.
Request Non-term BB Courses and Organization Spaces:
Faculty and staff can also use ELMS Tool to request Non-Term Based
Courses such as Master Course, Non-credit workshop course or
Organization spaces for Student Group, Department, Research Group, etc.
These Blackboard spaces have about the same features and functions as a
term-based course. While Organization space does not have Gradebook
function and related features (such as Assignment Tool).
You can access these request forms by going to "Request ELMS
Space" page as well.
For detailed instructions about requesting BB spaces and manage members,
check this document.
