How to merge two Blackboard courses?

Some instructors prefer to combine multiple course sites into a single merged Blackboard course. This allows them to post materials only once for all enrolled students to see, rather than posting to each separate course site. Use the Course Merge tool to do this. The Course Merge Tool copies the student enrollments from one or more "child" courses into a "parent" course. Course merge can be used to: 1 Merge enrollments of two or more sections of the same Enroll & Pay course that have the same department and catalog number. 2 Merge cross-listed courses that have different departments and catalog numbers.

What is course merge?

Course Merge will combine the Grade Center listing for all the students. If you require separate Grade Centers do not use Course Merge. This may apply if you teach both undergraduate and graduate sections of a course and they are graded differently.

Overview

It is possible to combine, or merge, multiple courses in Blackboard into one course. This is often done to streamline communications and content for multiple sections of one course.

Considerations

Please request a course merge as early as possible. Any course materials, assignments (including submissions), and Zoom meetings in the “old”, child courses will not transfer to the “new”, merged/parent course.

Instructions for Requesting Course Merges

IDs of the courses you want combined. Course IDs are the string of alphanumeric characters before your course name, see example in the screenshot below:

Instructions

Decide which Blackboard site you will use with all of the students. This site is referred to as the " parent ." The other sites to be combined are referred to as " child " sites. Note: Nothing ever gets copied from the child sites except the enrollments. The child sites will become entirely useless to you, and will never be opened by the students.

What happens

On your list of My Courses, the parent site is shown as usual. Each child site gets the special notation "unavailable - Child course of [parent site]." You should ignore the child sites completely, and you can hide them from your view by clicking the "gear" icon atop My Courses and changing the settings on the personalization page.

About multi-section management

Instructors may teach multiple sections of the same course. System administrators can merge the rosters of those courses into one master course. Merging the rosters allows the instructors teaching multiple sections to manage the content, course management, and communications tasks for all sections from one central location.

About crosslisting

Institutions commonly offer a course under multiple programs. For example, an advanced literature course might be available for credit in an English degree program as well as a journalism program. Instructors and registrars are challenged with managing student enrollment, grading, and content used in a single course.
