Blackboard TA Manager Instructions

Link to Blackboard Course Utility (Course Creator and TA Manager Tool)

1. Select the Bethel Blackboard Support Tab from within Blackboard ( or from within your course click on the  link "Control Panel" and then on the link "Add TA or Request other Enrollment ").

2. On the Bethel Blackboard Support Page select the link to the Bethel Blackboard Course Utility.

3.  On the "Blackboard Course Creator, TA Enrollment, and Enrollment Request Form" page select the link to the "TA Manager".

4. On the Blackboard Course Utility page select the "TA Manager" tab. [NOTE: The default tab is create courses and so you must select the TA Manager tab. Attempting to Add TAs using the Create Courses tab AFTER the course is already added to your Blackboard (i.e. shows a Red "[BB]" in your list of courses for that semester in the Create Courses list of your courses) will NOT WORK, you MUST USE THE TA MANAGER TAB!!!!] [Note 2: This tool will not allow addition of a TA to a previous semester course.]

5. Your courses are listed on the left side.  Click on one of your current or upcoming courses.Please note that courses are coded by the second year of the Academic calendar, e.g. FALL2008 courses are listed as 2009

- Example: Fall 2008 NUR299 section 1 would be NUR2991200911.

-Example: Fall 2008 OT503 section 1 would be OT5031200913

-Example: Fall 2008 ORGL454 section BLP  would be ORGL454BLP200912

6. In the "Add TA:" blank that pops up for the selected course to the right of your course list, type the firstname lastname of  the person you wish to add. Select the name from the list so that the name is highlighted in yellow. User names(net id)  are also shown so be certain to select the correct person to add.

7. Click on the yellow highlighted name (or use your tab or enter key) to enter your TA in the Add TA blank.

8. Click the "Add" button.  The TA should then show up above the Add TA box with a Red X to the right of the TAs name. If you don't see the TAs name with a red X then repeat the process.

9. Wait until 6:00 a.m. or 6:00 p.m. (when the enrollment script runs)  after you have added the TA   and check to make certain that they have been added to your Blackboard course.  If not check the TA Manager to see if they still show up there and if they do and are still not being added to your Blackboard course, please contact Blackboard support (651-638-6500 #3) or BlackboardSupport@bethel.edu.

10. When you wish to delete a TA, come back to the TA Manager and then click the red X next to that TAs name. You then still need to "Remove" that TA also from your Blackboard course.
