How do I update my Syllabus?

Blackboard Natively Built Syllabi:

• If your syllabus is built as separate Items in the course (Not a PDF or an HTML page). You, as the instructor, have the ability to edit each of the separate syllabus items by clicking on the menu button() of the Item and selecting Edit from the dropdown button.
  
  
• You may also e-mail us any changes you would like made to the syllabus. 
  
  • Copy/Paste each section of the syllabus into a Word Document and highlight any changes you make.
  • Then, e-mail the updated Word document to Online Course Technical Support.

Online Syllabus Management (OSM) is highly recommended 

OSM Syllabi:

•  For information regarding the OSM system and how to create your syllabus please visit the OSM Syllabus Instructions. We at Online Course Technical Support do not have access to these and therefore cannot edit these syllabi. 
  
  
• Once you have finished creating your syllabus contact Online Course Technical Support with the updated link to your syllabus and we will ensure the syllabus links within the course are updated as well.
