How do I get Account Access?

Web Page

  2. Preliminary page development will be completed offline. Page templates will be provided to staff.  Optional templates will be available to faculty.
  3. Employee will engage in activities to demonstrate understanding of basic concepts.
  4. Upon demonstration of understanding, the employee, technologist and supervisor will sign the Checklist document, which will be forwarded to the Webmaster.
  5. The Webmaster will create the account and provide a username and password to the instructor.
  6. The Webmaster will notify the Dean that access has been granted.

Blackboard

Employees wishing to have a Blackboard account for classes must complete the following process, and must have a current IVCC web page.  Individuals can begin Blackboard training before having a web page, but will not be granted a course shell until the web page training is completed.

Typically employees will attend a 90 minute, introductory workshop, after which the remainder of the activities can be completed independently.  The remaining activities can be completed in 10 or more hours, depending on the skill-level of the individual.

  1. The employee will work with an educational technologist to complete the Blackboard Checklist.
     
  2. Preliminary course development exercises will be completed in a shared, instructional Blackboard.
