• 2011/2 modules have been created

2011/2 module areas have been created on the BLE, and student and staff enrolments are also now switched on, so any staff or students you attach to the modules in SITS will gain access to the relevant BLE shell soon after.

As in the past, staff who are added to modules in SITS as assessment markers (via the MKR record) will be enrolled on the corresponding BLE modules as instructors. There is a change to note this year in that staff who have been attached to modules via the Teaching Resource Manager system will automatically be added to the MKR records, and therefore will gain BLE module access.

To attach any other staff members to modules via the MKR records, please follow the instructions found on the Enrolling_Instructors page which covers:

1      Attaching staff to modules in SITS

2      Looking up a staff member's PRS Code

3      Notes regarding Sessional Lecturers

4      Associates

5      Bulk enrolment to all modules in a range

• Other areas on the BLE

As well as modules, department and programme -level areas have also been set up on the BLE, but only the Learning Technology team can add staff members to these (it’s useful if you can tell us the staff member’s ITS username) - please contact us if you wish to make use of one of these areas.

We are also in the process of setting up the various custom areas (these are BLE courses which are not based on a SITS module, programme or department code) – if your department/programme has been using one of these and you would like to either do the same again, or something else in 2011/2, please let us know.
