60 Please add a way to nickname the courses so that we can easily tell (without memorizing the 5-digit codes) which course is which. Jeannie   Folk 9/21/2008 Integration(IT) 2 Other Resolved - This has been implemented on 1/7/09.
37 When entering grades on-line for the entire class, the "spreadsheet" has the student's name on the far left-hand column and the blank for entering the score on the far right-hand column. I'd really like to see them physically brought closer together. Two times so far this semester I have accidentally input the score into the wrong student's row. Additionally, it makes entering grades slow because you have to take your cursor and trace all the way across the row to (hopefully) ensure you are entering the proper score in the proper box. Elise   Fulara 2/21/2008 Blackboard 2 Gradebook Resolved - Awaiting implementation. A "Freeze Column" feature is available in Bb 8 Grade Center.
34 Add a multimedia component for MP3 files to allow Podcasting and video inside Blackboard. Currently, we'd have to set up a separate page that takes students to another site. Cathy   Stablein 2/20/2008 Integration(IT) 2 Other Resolved - The college has purchased Podcasting software for audio podcasts. For video files contact David Gorski in Multimedia Services for video streaming.
24 Maintain order of course content as originally organized. Currently, course content is organized in the destination course by format of content (i.e. all discussion board links are grouped together). Christine   Kickels 1/2/2008 Blackboard 3 Course Copy Resolved - Submitted to Blackboard - case ID #508001.
23 It would be helpful if students who are no longer enrolled in the class appear at the bottom of the gradebook, instead of continuing to be listed. The problem with students who are dropped still be listed normally in the gradebook is that as I enter grades, I notice gaps, and without having memorized students who have dropped versus those who haven't, I end up spending time double/triple checking that I haven't missed an email or lost work or forgotten to record the grade. jason   snart 12/11/2007 Not Assigned Not Assigned Gradebook Resolved - Version 8 Grade Center allows you to hide students from the gradebook.
