Organizations are an area within Blackboard devoted to non-credit content. An organization offers all the same features and functionality as a course shell for a credit course. However, leaders, assistants and builders of organizations may add users to the organization using the My Organizations Plus module.
Who may request an organization?
Only UofL faculty or staff.
How is an organization requested?
UofL faculty or staff may login with a valid ULink Username and Password to our New Organization request form.
Who may be added to an organization?
Any member of the UofL community with a Blackboard account.
How are users added to an organization?
The UofL faculty or staff member who requests the organization are responsible for adding users to the organization. The My Organizations Plus module allows anyone with the role of Leader, Organization Assistant and Organization Builder to add, remove, and elevating user privileges.
