+====View Student Info From Previous Running of the Course====
+Say it's Summer and you have a student in your group who took the course in Spring.\\
+You want to see what work they did in Spring.  But suppose that they dropped the course before the end, and thus they don't show in the Grade Center for the Spring running.  You'd like to make that student's entry in the Spring Grade Center visible so you can see the work they had done in Spring, maybe to check against what they do in this current Summer semester.
+You need to have access to the Spring running of the course to do this. If you don't have the access, ask the instructor or another facilitator that does have access to do this stuff.
+Assuming you can access Spring, here's what you do.
+  - In Blackboard, change to the Spring course.
+    * To do this: from main Blackboard menu, select ''Courses''. Go <- or -> till you see the course you want to view, and select it.
+  - ''Full Grade Center''
+  - At the top, select ''Manage'' > ''Row Visibility''
+  - Find the student you want (e.g., Doe John jdoe //Hidden//)
+  - Put a checkmark into the box to the left of their name
+  - At the top, select ''Show Rows'' (will change selected rows to be Shown)
+  - At the very bottom, ''Submit''
+====View file holding comments====
+Usually we put our grading comments in Blackboard directly.  In the past, at times these have been attached to the place where the comments are.  You see "See attached for details." and a file name.  This extracted from[[ https://sites.reading.ac.uk/tel-support/2018/07/26/blackboard-how-staff-can-open-files-attached-in-feedback-to-learner/|a UK site]]
+===What is the issue?===
+  * Students have submitted work to a Blackboard Assignment.
+  * A marker has used Inline Grading to mark the work, and has attached a feedback file in the FEEDBACK TO LEARNER section.
+  * A staff member (e.g. an administrator or moderator, or even the same marker) needs to view the attached file.
+You are not able to open the file by clicking on the link shown in the ‘Feedback to Learner’ text box, because you are viewing this as editable text.\\
+Follow the instructions below to open a preview of the text that will allow you to open the attached file.
+  - Control Panel > Grade Center > Assignments
+  - Open the student's attempt
+  - Expand the Attempt area to open Feedback to Learner text box.
+  - At the bottom of the Feedback to Learner text box, click the Full Content Editor icon, the fancy A. {{bu:fullcontenteditor.png?30}}
+  - Feedback to Learner full text editor opens in a popup box.  Click on the Preview icon {{bu:preview.png?40}} or {{bu:preview2.png?40}}
+  - A preview box opens in a new window showing how the feedback will appear to the student.  Click on the link to the attached file (it's clickable now).
+  - Done.  Be sure to close the file and preview box, click Cancel when you're done.
+====Historical/Hysterical Information====
+The URL to access BlackBoard for a given class has the form ''https://onlinecampus.bu.edu/ultra/courses/_NUMBER_1/cl/outline'' where NUMBER varies each semester.  Here is a history of recent NUMBERs.

+Subject Student Resources and Sara Compliance
+Dear students,\\
+BU Virtual has compiled a web page of resources at [[http://www.bu.edu/online/student-resources/]] to help online students throughout your time at BU. The page contains information and documents that will guide you through adding and dropping courses and contacting various BU offices, such as the Center for Career Development, the Office of Disability and Access Services, and the BU Bookstore. I recommend bookmarking this page for future reference.
+Boston University participates in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) which allows the university to offer distance education programs in other SARA member states. To comply with the terms and provision of SARA, Boston University maintains a State Authorization & Distance Education website - [[http://www.bu.edu/state-authorization/]] - which contains information relevant to students participating in distance education activities:
+  *     State Authorization and Boston University approval;
+  *     Complaint Resolution process;
+  *     The University's Refund Policy;
+  *     Information about distance education programs that lead to licensure and certification; and
+  *     Information about International Distance Education
+The BU Online website at [[http://www.bu.edu/online/]] also includes valuable career outlook statistics and course offerings for each online program BU offers. Students can also find important information about tuition, fees, technology requirements, and more. \\
+Engage with the Boston University community from wherever you are!
+Regards,\\
+Jen\\
