Overview

Staff are encouraged to request Learn.UQ (Blackboard) and/or edX (Edge) courses for the next Semester as soon as possible. This ensures that the creation of your course is not delayed due to peak demand during O-week and Week 1 of semester.

How do I obtain a Learn.UQ (Blackboard) and/or edX (Edge) course for next semester?

  1. Submit your ECP (Electronic Course Profile), a blank Blackboard course will be created for you within approximately 2 days.
  2. Submit a request using the Course/Organisation Site Request Forms link found on the Learn.UQ (Blackboard) Staff tab.

Combining Content

If you wish combine courses with different populations (undergraduate/postgraduate), or different campuses (St Lucia/Ipswich/Gatton/Herston/External) you must include this request in the Course/Community Site Request Form. To ensure the correct courses are combined you need include the full course codes of all courses to be combined (i.e. ENG7020S_6260STx) in the Course Enrolments section.

Note: You must request that courses are combined every semester. Courses will NOT be automatically combined just because this was requested in previous semesters.
