This document describes the service that Information Technology Services (ITS) provides to Blackboard users for of organizations at Syracuse University.
...
- A Blackboard organization will be created only after ITS receives a request from a Syracuse University faculty or staff member acting as the group sponsor. The group sponsor will be required to provide all necessary information via an online form and to ensure compliance with this service description.
- Blackboard Organizations are limited to groups that support the educational, research, or administrative mission of the University.
- Student group eligibility is determined by the Office of Student Affairs and/or an administrative officer of the sponsoring college or department. All student groups must have a faculty or staff sponsor to use a Blackboard organization.
- Blackboard organization participants that need access to the control panel must be granted access by Blackboard administrators following a request by the organization leader or group sponsor and completion of the required overview by the leader.
- Transfers or additions of organization leaders must be made by the existing organization leader and/or the group sponsor after new organization leaders have completed the overview.
- Each Blackboard organization is allocated up to 500 1000 MB of storage space on the Blackboard server (with a 50 MB size limit for individual files transfers into the site).
- All participants in Blackboard organizations are asked to comply with Copyright Law concerning materials placed on the web. In particular, please read the section on Digital Rights Management and Fair Use.
- All organizations created in Blackboard default to being unavailable to participants. While the organization leader will have access to the course, organization participants will not be able to see the site. This ensures organization participants do not see content until the organization leader is ready for them to see it and explicitly makes it available to them.By default, all Blackboard organizations expire one year after their creation. In order to continue use, existing organizations must be renewed yearly with updated sponsor, leader, and participant information. Renewal of student organizations will generally take place in early January and late August.
- Organizations can be disabled or removed from the Blackboard server only by request by the organization leader and/or the group sponsor, unless Syracuse University's Information Technology Resources Acceptable Use Policy has been violated.
- Failure to comply with the provisions of this service description may result in corrective action, including the possible removal of the organization from the Blackboard server.
