Step-By-Step
Adding A TA Account To Your Course Site
(Text version)

1.Blackboard allows Instructors and TAs to add other accounts to their course site and give them "Teaching Assistant " access. Teaching Assistant access is exactly the same as instructor access with the exception of being able to grant instructor access to a course site. TAs can however grant TA access to others holding an account on the course site. The student you add must already have a Blackboard account in the database.

2. To add an account to your course site and give it TA access:

• Login to the Blackboard course site as usual.
• Go to Control Panel / Enroll User. This will display the "Enroll User" form.
• Type in the last name of the user you wish to enroll on your course site and give TA access. Then click on the "Search" button. This will display all of the accounts in the Blackboard database having that last name.
• Checkmark the box to the left of the user you want to enroll and give TA access. Then click on the "Submit" button on the bottom of the page. A receipt will be displayed telling you that the account has been added to your course site.

3. Next go to Control Panel / List/Modify Users. This will open the List/Modify Users form.

• Type in the last name of the user you have just enrolled and click on the "Search" button. This will display that user's account.
• Click on the "Properties" button to the right of the user's name. This will display the "Modify User's Properties" box.
• Scroll down to section #4 "Role and Availability". Select "Teaching Assistant " and then click on "Submit" at the bottom of the page. A receipt will be displayed telling you that the user's account has been updated.
