Terms and Conditions


Thank you for submitting this module request form. By completing this form, NUI Galway staff are manually assigned instructor access to their respective courses on the Blackboard system. We will provide confirmation of your instructor assignment and further details as soon as possible. Please note the important information outlined below:

Policy for Instructor Assignment


System administrators limit access to Blackboard course sites solely to registered students for that course, and to the staff member who initially makes the request for instructor access. This protocol aims to safeguard access to any materials instructors place on the system.

How do the system administrators assign instructor access?


The system administrators shall assign access to the first individual staff member who requests instructor access to a particular module or course instance on Blackboard. This person becomes the course owner. If at a later date, an additional staff member requests access to the same course instance or module on the system, the administrators will refer this person back to the course owner to gain access.

How can the course owner enrol colleagues?


It is very easy to enrol additional colleagues as Instructors and Teaching Assistants from within a Blackboard course. This can be done via the Control Panel of any course, and further information is available on http://www.nuigalway.ie/blackboard.

How do students get enrolled on a Blackboard course?


Every module and course instance at NUI Galway has a record on the Student Information System, Quercus. In this Quercus database all student records are kept relating to student enrolments, modules and course instances, exam results, etc. Each course on Quercus automatically generates a corresponding course on Blackboard, and enrols students onto these courses, during a nightly synchronisation with Blackboard. Therefore, once students have registered and enrolled at NUI Galway they have automatic access to these same courses on Blackboard.

Copying content and maintaining backups


It is the responsibility of the course owner to determine what student work needs to be preserved and to keep regular backups of the Gradebook, submitted Assignments, or any other electronic copies of student work required. Blackboard provides tools for copying, exporting and archiving your own course content. View instructions on how to copy content from one course to another, or preserve student data at: http://www.nuigalway.ie/blackboard

Rollover
At the end of each academic year, new empty courses will be generated on the Blackboard system, and each new cohort of students will be automatically registered into their course for that academic session. For the academic year 2012-2013, these courses can be identified by the prefix 1213-CourseCode (e.g. 1213-MD120, or 1213 - 1BA1). Instructors will retain access to the previous years courses for reference, but students will become unenrolled. Please refer to the Blackboard help on http://www.nuigalway.ie/blackboard for more information.

Bonding
If you module is bonded with other modules you are teaching, please ask for access to every module code. You will need to make any resources available within each separate Blackboard course, as students will only have access to their respective course codes. Any queries regarding modifications to curriculum structure (including the course name or code on Blackboard), should be directed to Academic Records at NUI Galway who maintain

the curriculum structure (e.g. course name, code) on Quercus or contact your faculty office.
