Q. I am a new student taking an online course and I need to resize my photo on my homepage. Could you please tell me where to find the instructions for resizing pictures?
A. Please visit our Technology Tip Resize Photos Fast . Be aware that you cannot resize the photo in Blackboard — instead, you must resize on your computer and then upload to your homepage.
Q. My graduate assistant is supposed to help with my Blackboard course — how can I get her into the course?
A. If you wish to add a Teacher’s Assistant, Course Builder, or Course Grader, contact the Blackboard support team at Blackboard@luc.edu with that user’s name, the specific course you want them added to, and their role in that course.
Instructor assignments come from LOCUS, so the Blackboard @ Loyola support team cannot add a colleague as instructor in your course, but can add a colleague as a TA. Since Blackboard Teacher’s Assistants have access to the course Grade Center, we do not recommend giving a student in your class the role of Teacher’s Assistant.
For more information on access given the various roles, please visit this link: Blackboard Roles. The Guest role is not used at Loyola.
Q. How come my spring courses still show up in Blackboard? Can I delete them?
A. Student access to any semester’s courses will be removed automatically a few weeks after the start of the following semester, but if you would like to remove them from your view before then, follow these instructions:
When you return to the Login page, the course will no longer appear in your My Courses list.
