As we look ahead to the Fall 2025 semester, SHSU Online’s Instructional Design, Support Desk, and Faculty Development teams are gearing up to support faculty with getting their courses ready to go. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or teaching with Blackboard for the first time, we’re here to make sure you have everything you need to start the semester strong.
Beginning in August 2025, our teams will offer a variety of ways to help faculty copy content into their Fall 2025 courses, including:
- Course copy request service – Send your course copy requests to IDSupport@shsu.edu. Our 24/7 SHSU Online Support Desk will complete the copy, and an instructional designer will follow up to see if we can offer any additional help as you prepare for the semester.
- 24/7 technical assistance – Get help anytime through our SHSU Online Support Desk.
- Live training and drop-in support – Attend scheduled training sessions with our Faculty Development team covering best practices for course copying and cleanup, or sign up for a session By Appointment for one-on-one assistance during "Office Hours."
For after hours, and/or "do-it-yourself" instructors, the Blackboard by Anthology Help Center offers step-by-step instructions for copying course content in Ultra. You can explore their guide here.
No matter your experience level or course setup, our goal is to make preparing for the semester simple, efficient, and stress-free so you can focus on what matters most: teaching your students.
