Hi Maria,
 
well, the College do not offer Guest access at the moment - we only allowed registered students to access our system. However, "Guest" is a standard course/organisation Role, so I expect you would need to use that. Perhaps it is possible to set "Guest" so that the need for a password is bypassed? - does anyone else have any information on that kind of thing?
 
Best wishes,
 
Jill

Hello Jill,

Thanks very much for your reply. How do your guests log on, do they use their own login details or do you give them a generic login? 

Our Bb system only works with Ldap login and that's what we are struggling with. 

Be great to know how you manage. 

Thanks again for your help.

Maria

Hi Maria,
 
we do not currently do this, but you could through your Blackboard site open to potential students by offering "Guest" access, I expect - and allocate only certain tabs and "promotional" modules for them to see.
 
As I say we do not currently use our CS for potential students, but we do make quite a lot of use of it in other ways, so if you decide to go ahead and I can be of any help there, please give me a shout!
 
Best wishes,
 
Jill

We are investigating the worth of using our Blackboard Community System (CS) for potential students to enhance recruitment and wondered if anyone who is doing this can offer us some insight.

In particular, our burning questions are:

How do you give these potential students access?
(currently a student only gets access once they have enrolled to the course – around September).

If you are using the CS for potential students what can they expect to find?

Has it been worth it?

(We would need to make some massive changes to our account set-up and wonder if the ROI  would justify the work – is there an easier solution to temp students?

As always, your ‘coal face’ contributions are gratefully appreciated.

Best

Maria
