Blackboard Course Stack Tutorial
University of Alaska Fairbanks eCampus
1. The first step is to open Blackboard and click Courses | |
2. This page shows a list of the courses you are teaching, or have taught previously. You should see both courses that you would like to stack in this list. Click one of the courses you would like to stack. 202101 is the coding used to identify the year : 2021 and the semester code for Spring : 01 The semester codes are: Spring = 01, Summer = 02, Fall = 03 | |
3. Now that you are in the course, scroll down and click Course Tools, located under the Control Panel on the left. | |
4. Under Course Tools, find and click the item labeled Stack Courses. | |
5. We are now in the Course Stacker Utility in Blackboard. The Instructors area should have your name. | |
6. Click Submit. | |
7. This page lists all of the courses you are teaching in the current semester. We will check all of the courses we want to stack together. For this example, we start by clicking the small circle next to the first course we want to stack, stack_ecampus_202101. | |
8. Then we select the next course we want added, stack_ecampus_UX2_202101. Continue this step until all courses that you want to stack together are selected. | |
9. IMPORTANT: Stacking courses creates a new course that has all of the enrollments from the courses stacked into it. It does not bring in course content. In the section called Destination Stacked Course - Leave the default “New Course”. Once you have the courses to stack selected, scroll down and click Confirm Course Selection. On the next step we will review the information and perform the stack. | |
10. This is a confirmation page. Review the information on this page to double check your selections. If everything looks good, scroll down and click Stack Courses. | |
11. Congratulations! You've stacked your courses. Note the blue message bar that says "Unavailable Child Course". This lets us know that the course we are currently in is one of the courses that is now stacked into a new course. Follow the prompts to go to the new stacked course - also called the master course.
