"Unavailable" means that an instructor has access to the course, but students will not be able to enter the course. Instructors have to make the course "available" to allow students access to the Blackboard Learn course. There are three options to make your Blackboard Learn course available:
Recorded sessions are compressed and saved as MP4s, but need to be converted into a playable format before viewing. The first time a recording is accessed the conversion begins. It may take a few minutes but once is has been done the recording can be viewed by everybody.
The first step is to record your Collaborate session. Only moderators can turn recording on in sessions.
Students can find session recordings from in their course using the same steps. You can also share your recordings with anyone not in a course with a recording link.
Call our Blackboard Help line 24 hours a day, every day at (213) 740-5555 and choose option 2. Faculty can request help and training from USC’s Enterprise Learning Technologies group by submitting a request to [email protected].
