Class List

FirstClass Teaching & Learning Migration

Student enrollment in your Blackboard course is automatic.

Getting access to your class list begins 45 days before the first day of teaching. Student enrollment is updated nightly thereafter.  Official registration information comes from ROSI - the student course registration system.  Once it becomes available, you can verify students in your course.

This is done by selecting "Control Panel" from the left menu and then "UT Manage Groups" under the Course Tools section.  On the right hand side of the UT Manage Groups page, click on the "View/Download Selected Roster" button as show below:

My Course -> Control Panel -> UT Manage Groups -> View/Download Roster

You can choose to display the information on your screen by clicking the "Preview" button, or you can save the information in an Excel/CSV file by clicking the "Download" button.

With this official roster you can gather a list of student names, email addresses and UTORid usernames. 

Your class list contains only officially registered students and instructors, but what if you have other users in your course like Graduate Assistants (GAs) or Auditing Students?  You can manually grant access to your course in Blackboard.  You will need to know their UTORid username.

My Course -> Control Panel -> UT Manage Users

If you have another instructor or assistant who will be helping you upload content and contribute to the building of your course in Blackboard, you can grant them "Course Builder" status.  This will allow that specific user access to modify and change course content.

Communicating with members of your class is now easier in Blackboard.  Just choose the group of users you wish to email or select specific people from a list.

My Course -> Control Panel -> Send Email

All Users - all students and any additional members you have added to your course like GAs, Auditing Students, additional instructors and guests.

All Student Users - Just enrolled students in your class.

Single/Select Users - Blackboard will give you a list of all participants in your class in which you can choose one or multiple people to send an email to.
