Blackboard Integration and Scheduling
Recently Blackboard was integrated with Banner and that means that your faculty will have more up to date
information regarding their student enrollment within their Blackboard sections. The good news is that with this
new integration, faculty can request their shell within 24 hours of being added as the instructor of record in Banner.
To request a shell, the faculty member needs to visit the following website:
http://appserv.itts.ttu.edu/BlackboardCourseRequest/default.aspx
After logging in with their eRaider, the faculty member will see a list of courses that they are assigned to in Banner:
Why is this important to the scheduling community?
Now that Banner and Blackboard are integrated, changing the Instructor of Record can result in lost work for the
instructor. A few things to know:
If you Record-> Remove the existing instructor and enter the new instructor before you SAVE – only the
new instructor will have access to the existing Blackboard shell.
If you Record->Remove the instructor and SAVE and then add the new instructor, both instructors will
have access to the existing Blackboard shell.
If a shell has been requested in Blackboard the Integration Partner code will appear on the section in Banner:
PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS CODE FROM THE SECTION IN BANNER
What needs to be done if a section Instructor of Record is changed in Banner after the
Blackboard shell is created?
If a faculty member is reassigned to a new section or CRN in Banner, and they have already created information
within their previous shell in Blackboard, they must contact Karissa.Greathouse@ttu.edu in order to have the
information transferred to their new section.
