Blackboard Course site

Course sites are not set up automatically!!  In order for us to ensure that everything is set up exactly as you would like it the very first time, Faculty and Staff must use this form or the campus form  to request  Blackboard course sites every semester.  For other information about Blackboard at RH Smith, see our Blackboard pages. 

Classroom and Lab Software Requests  

This form must always be used to request software installations on any classroom or lab pc used for Business School classes - including remote sites.  Classroom software images are very complex and take a long time to create and test; consequently, they are usually only updated in preparation for a new semester.  Request deadlines:
       January 6 for Spring updates and
       May 10 for Fall semester updates
Exceptions can sometimes be made outside of these dates, and will be considered anytime this form is submitted, however, we cannot guarantee fulfillment of requests made after the deadline.

Computer Requests

New Faculty Computer Request form.  Orders for Fall will be placed on the first business day after July 1.  Please submit this form at least 3 business days before that date.  The default system purchase is a desktop and LCD panel.  Any new faculty who has not submitted the form by the deadline will receive the standard desktop system.  Once it is purchased, changes cannot be made.

Blackberry Requests

Turning Point Clicker Program

Smith IT can provide any interested Business School Faculty  with a Turning Point response pad (or "clicker") and a receiver for developing interactive presentations.   Faculty may also borrow response pads for the semester for their students on a first come-first served basis.  Be sure to request a set as soon as you know you will use them.  Our current equipment pool is large enough for 7 classes of 60 students.  You will be notified by return mail if enough are available for your class.

For more information about using response pads in your classroom, please go to our "clickers" information page. 

If there are no more loaner clickers available, students can purchase a Turning Point Response Pad from the bookstore for $40 or online from Turning Point (see link on clicker website). One response pad may be used in all the classes using Turning Point technology, anywhere across campus. It may be sold back to the bookstore at the end of the semester. To check which model/part number is currently in use, please see the campus "clicker" website's purchasing information.
