Today’s Gazette highlights the Prince George’s County Board of Education race between District 1 candidates David H. Murray ’14, economics, and Zabrina Epps, CCBC academic adviser.

Murray told the Gazette, “One of most important things we have to do is try to recruit the most effective teachers we can.” He supports an external audit on the school system’s operating budget, to redirect funds toward increasing teacher pay.

As one of three candidates in Prince George’s County who are currently university students, Murray argues that his age and familiarity with the school system as an alumnus afford him an important perspective on issues that matter to students and faculty today.

Things to Know about UMBC's Blackboard 

  1. Courses and enrollments into Blackboard are fully automated through the registration process. Each semester, official courses and enrollments are populated from the registration process and updates to those courses and enrollments are performed every couple of hours. You do not need to request a course in Blackboard for your courses if you are the official instructor listed on the schedule of classes
  2. By default, courses that have been generated each semester are labeled "unavailable" meaning students cannot access them. It's up to the instructor as to when they would like their course to be made "available" to the enrolled students
  3. File Names are important. Faculty and students uploading documents in the Blackboard system should take care when naming the files.
    File names should not contain any spaces or special characters (e.g., ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) > <). Spaces and special characters can be misinterpreted by the system. To indicate a space in a file name the underscore key ( _ ) can be used (e.g., file_name.doc). This also applies to naming columns in the Grade Center. Use the underscore symbol ( _ ) and a period (.) as separators

Faculty

  • Blackboard courses are auto-created and auto-enrolled from the Student Administration (SA) system containing all official registration and enrollment data. 
  • In Blackboard, if you do not see your course and you are an instructor, please confirm that your department's scheduling coordinator has correctly entered your name in the schedule of classes. 
  • If you are not the instructor of record, make sure all steps have been followed in the new full- or part-time employee account creation process.
    • Blackboard course shells are not created for those courses who have STAFF listed as the instructor (see example below).
    • System Administrators must also manually create courses categorized as independent study or research (see example below). Please complete the Blackboard course shell request form located on http://doit.umbc.edu/services/requestbbshell/
  • Verify the Course module:
  1. In the upper right corner of the My Courses module, click on the gear icon
  2. Look for "1. Edit Courses List" section. Check/Uncheck the the boxes for any courses you wish or no longer wish to view
  3. Click Submit

Students

When you register for a class you are automatically enrolled into the Blackboard system for that course within approximately 2 hours. There could be a couple of reasons why you may not be able to see your Blackboard course.

  • Your instructor has NOT made the course available to students yet. Here's a video on how your instructor can make your course available. Also, your instructor may wait to make the course available to students or may not use their Blackboard course. Contact your instructor to see if the course will use Blackboard and if the course has been made available to students.

  • You have a portal-only, limited access account. You need to upgrade. Here's the instructions on how to upgrade to a full access account. Here's a visual clue for a portal account - there's no Mail, Calendar, or Blackboard link next to your name:

    Fig 1. Example Portal Only Account

    Fig 2. Example Full Access Account

  • You are a new student and have not created and activated your myUMBC account so Blackboard has not added you to any courses. You can activate your account at http://accounts.umbc.edu
  • You have been dropped from the class or there is some other registration problem. In this case, contact your instructor to see if you are enrolled in the course.
  • If it doesn't show up in the Blackboard "Check My Activity (CMA)" module (see image below), it doesn't mean you are not enrolled or you don't have access. Make sure you go to the full Blackboard site, http://blackboard.umbc.edu, to view your list of courses.
     

Other reasons you may not see your Blackboard course

  • You may be accessing the course during the weekly maintenance schedule. Click here to see the schedule.
  • Check the DoIT News for any unscheduled or unexpected downtime. Click here for all Blackboard related announcements from DoIT
  • Make sure your pop-up blockers are off.

  • Try accessing the page directly instead of going through myUMBC. Type the following into the address bar:
