All courses for 2026-27 have been created and are available to staff in Blackboard. 

All AU Blackboard course sites use an agreed template with areas for core information along with agreed content for university-level policies.

The course template is agreed by the Quality and Standards Committee annually. Module Coordinators have responsibility for the organisation of materials in their courses. Staff should not delete template content.  

Consult the Required Minimum Presence for what should be included in the course.  

If you need any assistance with Blackboard courses, see Staff Blackboard Guide.

Once courses have been created, we will run a weekly feed between the Module Management System and Blackboard to reflect any updates or changes.  

Students won’t come onto courses until registration has been completed in September.
