As we approach the end of the semester there are a few things you can do in Blackboard to wrap up for the semester.
Download your gradebook
- Student access to courses is removed two weeks after the end of a semester. During this process all grade book records are deleted. You should download your gradebook to your local computer after you submit your final grades.
Create a master copy of your course
- Courses remain on the Blackboard system for three semesters before they are removed. You can request a Master Course Shell that you can use to develop and maintain your course materials. Master Course Shells will not be removed from the Blackboard system.
Hide old courses from view
- When you login to Blackboard you will see your courses for previous semesters listed along with the courses you are currently teaching on the Xavier University and Courses tabs. If you do not want to see older courses in the list, you can hide them from view.
Follow these steps to do it.
Instructions are available in previous Bb tips for downloading your grade book, requesting master course shells, and hiding old courses from view.
