Staff Guide: The staff enroller tool enables different types of staff to more easily manage their access to Blackboard courses.
This tool will only work for staff who have been set up with permissions to access it.

Organising your Courses list and Notifications
We recommend you choose the Temporary Enrolment option to enrol on courses for 24 hours so your Courses list and notifications don’t get cluttered.
Filter your list of courses
In Blackboard, on the Courses page, you can filter your courses by:
- Courses I teach – Instructor role.
- Courses I support – Programme Lead, Library Staff, Course Viewer and other staff roles.
- Courses I am taking – Student role.
Notifications
You will receive notifications from any course you are enrolled on. You can block notifications by Hiding a course. You can view Hidden courses via the Filter option.
