As part of our continued efforts to streamline Blackboard, all non-academic courses are being transitioned into Blackboard Organizations.
If you are listed as the owner or main contact for a non-academic course, please confirm whether you wish to retain your non-academic course by Sept. 15, 2025 by emailing actech@hartford.edu with the name of the non-academic course. A member of the Office of Academic Technology & Digital Innovation will then follow up with details about the migration process to an Orginization.
If we do not receive a response by this Sept. 15, 2025, the non-academic course will be deleted.
What Are Blackboard Organizations?
Organizations function like courses but are used for non-instructional purposes such as student clubs, department hubs, and program communications. They are located in the “Organizations” tab in global navigation menu of Blackboard, just below “Courses.”'
Updated Role Titles in Organizations
- Instructor → Leader
- Course Builder → Organization Builder
- Teaching Assistant → Assistant
- Student → Participant
