Administrators
Blackboard Course Catalog administrators have a variety of responsibilities that are crucial for configuring and maintaining Course Catalog within the Blackboard system. Their tasks can be divided into several key areas.
Administrators can configure several options within the Blackboard system administrator panel. These options must be set up correctly to ensure smooth operation of the course catalog. They include setting up user roles that have access to the different areas of Course Catalog, configuring the payment gateway, setting up institutional branding, and more.
Beyond the configurations taken care of in the Blackboard system administrator panel, administrators can also configure settings within Course Catalog that influence how the catalog functions and appears to users. The settings include the overall structure and organization of the catalog, the appearance of the homepage, notifications settings, and more.
Administrators have the capability to run reports within Course Catalog. These reports provide valuable insights into Course Catalog data, such as course completion, course enrollment, the offering list, and student activity. These reports help track the progress of students through the courses provided through Course Catalog.
