Introduction

The beginning of any semester can be a stressful time for both students and faculty alike but being prepared is the best strategy for success.  This article is geared to reminding faculty that they must make their course available on Blackboard Ultra before students can start to interact within the LIVE course.  The video below will provide instructions on how to make your course available to students.

Once the course has been made available students will see the course listed on their Blackboard dashboard and start to receive activity notifications.  By making the course available to students, it does NOT automatically make the content within your LIVE course visible.  Each piece of content added needs to be made visible through the release conditions or Batch Edit feature.
