Blending Courses in Blackboard

This article demonstrates the steps to blend two courses for use in Blackboard.  If a professor makes this request, make sure you first discuss the blending process and how it differs from cross-listing, then proceed with the following steps:

Go into the SRSI screen in Colleague to attain the Synonyms for each of the two courses that will be blended.

Next, go into the XFLTT screen to begin the blending, select the empty/available box, enter the primary course first and enter its SYNONYM into the ORIG CODE and PROCESSING Code  fields.

Rename the course using all the sections being blended (EX: BI-HE-122-WSU2-19SMU2).

Repeat this process for each course that will be blended, with their respective SYNONYM in the ORIG CODE box and the SYNONYM of the primary course in the Processing Fields box.

Confirm that the blending completed successfully and the students from both courses are enrolled.  Make the unused shell unavailable to students.
