Customizing terms to keep your dashboard tidy.

Terms in Blackboard

Terms are now available on Blackboard! What are Terms?  This tool provides us the ability to organize classes in your My Courses Module on Blackboard into different semesters:

Terms are default Off.  They can be turned On to sort the Blackboard Course Sites by Semester. This can be particularly beneficial to those who see multiple years worth of courses.  Regular academic courses will automatically be assigned to the Semester they belong to.  Courses that are not connected to an academic course can be assigned to a Term, or left in the "No Term Assigned" area. 


How to turn Terms Off and On

• At the top of the My Course module title, to the right corner, you'll see an icon that looks like a gear. When you hover the mouse pointer over the gear you’ll see a message that says “Manage my courses module settings.”

• Click on the gear icon, and you’ll be presented with the "Terms" option on the “Personalize My Courses" page.

• Select the checkbox named Group by Term to turn on the Terms option or un-check box in order to turn off the Terms option.

• Next, from Edit course List select all courses that you’d like to be grouped by Terms.

• Click Submit.

How to Reorganize Terms

A hidden term will not show up in the module page, and a collapsed term will show up but in a collapsed state. You can expand or collapse terms either from this page or from within the module page itself.
