Request a Course

To enable your course in UBlearns you need to follow the directions below. If you have multiple sections of one course your can choose to combine all sections into one UBlearns course or you can keep them as separate UBlearns courses. An advantage to combining the sections into one UBlearns course is that you will only have to upload course materials once.

To Request a Course:

  1. Your UB email must be enabled. If you have not enabled your UB email you will not be able to log into UBLearns or request your course. To enable your email go to CIT's web site and click on enable email.
         
    • At this time you need to decide if you are going to use your UB email for communication between yourself and your students. If you would like to use another email account then you need to setup your UB email to forward to your other email account. All UBlearns email will be sent to your UB email. There are no exceptions to this. So if you want to use another account make sure you setup your UB email to forward to the other account on the same page as above.
     
  2. There are two ways to request your course to be set up in UBlearns.
         
    • Go to MyUB and login. Once you are in MyUB look for the "My Courses" section. This will display the courses you are teaching this semester. In this section you will see a link called "UBlearns Setup". Click on this link.

       
    • Go to UBlearns and login. The first screen that is displayed is the "Updates Tab". On this screen you will see any announcements. One of the options in the left hand column will say "Set Up Your Courses". Click on the BIWI link.
       
  3. On the page that is displayed you need to select the semester of the course you want to create in UBlearns. Then click the GO button. This will display the list of courses for that semester. You will then be able to enable the courses you want to use UBlearns for. You will also be able to select which courses you want combined. You can only combine courses this way for future semesters. If you decide to combine sections of a course after the semester begins you will need to email the UBlearns support staff directly.
