Hello everyone,
My question is about the setting
and changing of Institutional roles.
As a bit of background, we are
currently running Blackboard 8 SP3 and for the most part have only ever created
students with the same Institutional role, so the tabs, modules and branding
(let’s call them the frontend) the students see have always remained the
same no matter what course they are enrolled on.
We are now developing a new
programme in which a student needs to complete a number of courses in order to
gain the qualification and what we would like to do is give students a
different frontend depending on which course they are currently taking part in.
We think that the way to do this is to change the student’s Institutional
role, and therefore associated frontend, each time they start a new
course. This is fine if the number of students is small, as it can be
done manually, but the number we are expecting would not make this practical.
So my question is, is there some
way in which we can batch change student Institutional roles?
Look forward to your responses
and thank you,
Regards
Tyne Koppen
