Important note for those submitting the portfolio this summer 2013

Message from Anthony:

"By May 31: Self-enroll in Blackboard shell.
If you are submitting a program portfolio you will have to self-enroll in the Blackboard shell. To self-enroll:

1. From MyBb tab, select the Courses sub-tab;
2. Under Course Search within the Courses sub-tab, enter SLIS and select Go.
3. Find ‘SLIS Program Portfolio SU13’, mouse over the contextual menu button to the right of the course ID, and select 'Enroll'. If Blackboard asks for a passcode, it is SLIS.
4. Navigate back to the MyBb tab – you will then see ‘SLIS Program Portfolio SU13’ within the 'My Courses' module.

This step is only for those submitting the program portfolio. All other steps should be completed as per the earlier email.

The Blackboard portfolio submission course should be available for registration next week.

If you have any questions, please let me know."

News on portfolio

A few important messages regarding your exit portfolio from today's faculty meeting:

1. Make sure to take all the core courses before the semester you plan to graduate. Because core artifacts are crucial for building your portfolio, you cannot graduate in the semester you are still taking core course(s). (take effect from Spring 2014)
2. Save your assignments/papers/reports/projects on a local drive or cloud. You and the instructor won't have access to the course shell on Blackboard after 12 months or so. And if your instructor left UK for any reason, it can be even more complicated. So save them, along with any comments, to a place you can easily access later.
