What is a “merged” or “crosslisted” Blackboard course site?
A “merged” or “crosslisted” site is when an instructor requests more than one Course Registration Number (CRN) to be setup as one site. All of the students from those CRN’s would be uploaded to the one site and therefore have access to this one site (students would see only one link to the site). You can request this “merge” for either officially crosslisted courses (note, we have no way of knowing which courses are crosslisted unless you tell us in the Request Blackboard Course Sites form), or when an instructor is teaching multiple sections of the same course. It allows the instructor to only have to edit one site for all of the multiple sections. Note that: • Note that Blackboard does not distinguish which students are from which course, so ALL students will be listed alphabetically in the Gradebook (although there are workarounds to sorting students – view an example of how this can be done at the UNF Center for Instruction & Research Technology). • The Chabot Blackboard System Adm
