Step-By-Step
Adding An Instructor Account To Your Course Site
(Text version)

1.Blackboard allows Instructors to add other accounts to their course site and give them "Instructor" access. The person you add must already have a Blackboard account in the database. If the account is not present in the database contact the Blackboard Administrator at: nhirsig@tufts.edu and request a new account be created and added to the database. Include in your request the full name of the person and their e-mail address.

2. To add an account to your course site and give it instructor 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 instructor 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 instructor 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 "Instructor" 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.

4. Note that only those having Instructor access to a course site can give someone else instructor access.
