Problems with Blackboard. Since 2002, UMKC has used Blackboard, an online course management system. A new version of the program has presented many problems for students since the semester began. The Blackboard system is used by many schools, and according to its mission statement, is designed “to increase the impact of education by transforming ...
Brichoux said his combined classes have become disconnected on Blackboard. “That’s when you have two different sections for each course and one is the parent course and one is the child course,” Brichoux said, “and all the ones in the child course get dumped in the parent course.”. This created issues for Brichoux’s students.
UMKC’s 195 online classes, which include synchronous, asynchronous and blended modes of instruction, depend heavily on the Blackboard system. Traditional classes also use components of Blackboard, which can include tests and assignment postings.
Fortunately, Brichoux tries to anticipate problems with Blackboard when he plans his online tests. “Luckily, the way I do the exams it’s not a big deal,” Brichoux said. “I always know they’re going to have all kinds of glitches.”.
Course messages. From anywhere in a course, you can access messages on the navigation bar. The course messages page displays all the messages that are specific to the course you are in. You don't need to add a link to course messages. The Messages icon is always part of course navigation in the Ultra Course View.
Read-only course messages for students. Each institution has different communication preferences and policies. Some institutions may want to limit how students communicate with others in their courses. Your institution can choose not to allow students to reply to or create messages in their courses.
You and your students can send messages to each other, multiple people, or an entire class. Messages activity remains inside the system, and you don't have to worry about email addresses that may be incorrect or outdated.
Only the student role has these restrictions. You can't turn this setting on and off in your individual courses. When this setting is turned on, students can only read the messages other roles send, such as instructors and teaching assistants. Students also won't be able to forward messages they receive.
