If you have ever wanted to add a colleague, postgrad student or other cfs user to your Blackboard site, but wanted to make sure that they didn’t see the student gradebook or couldn’t mess up your content, then check this document to see which role will limit the activities of your user.

Anyone classed as a blog editor on the Biological Sciences School office Blackboard Site can add new postings. These are available as ‘headlines’ to students outside Blackboard if they use an RSS reader (this is something that first year students in 2008/9 will be introduced to in BS1010).
This short video demonstrates how to add items to the blog. If you cannot see the student blog on your Blackboard page, please contact Jo Badge
Using the Biological Sciences School Office site, you can send email to students in the school by year of entry and degree stream, or combine these groups to send email to all the students in a year.
This short video shows exactly how to do this.
If you cannot access the ’staff only’ menu item on the blackboard site, please contact Jo Badge.
You may have noticed some changes on the Biological Sciences School Office Blackboard site. From 21 April, some new features have been introduced
The previous system of separating staff and students sites has been replaced by a new single site for everyone. Sensitive information is only available to staff, hidden from the student view.
Members of staff can use the Blackboard site to email students by year of entry and degree stream.
This new blog is available outside blackboard, without the need to log in to discover the latest updates on what is happening. The blog includes updates on new features in Blackboard and Turnitin as well as information on School events and notices. You can have these updates delivered direct to your browser using RSS.
This new blog is an internal Blackboard blog (which is secure) for posting messages to all students. It will contain answers to frequently asked questions (when are my exams?) and school notices.
Members of staff can use the groups set up in the Biological Sciences School Office blackboard site to email students by course and year.
