Primary motivation for Photo Rosters:
Helping faculty to learn
names and faces of their students!
( Online Directory )
vs.
“Private” pictures
“Public” pictures
And now …
…to the Photo Rosters in Blackboard …
Photo Rosters have been
wildly popular with faculty!
They use it as a mechanism to
• I’ve heard countless anecdotes about how they used to cut up the printed directory to create their own photo roster.
• Faculty who have never used Blackboard are now getting into Blackboard to access the photo rosters!
Features, Conditions & Caveats
• Photo Rosters are available for all courses and organizations in Blackboard.
• All Bucknell courses are automatically created in Blackboard, and students are automatically enrolled.
Features, Conditions & Caveats, cont.
• The photo roster is only available to the instructor/manager of the Blackboard course/organization.
• If the person generating the roster is faculty or staff, it will include “private” pictures. Otherwise, it will only include public pictures.
• For example, a student who is president of a fraternity can generate a photo roster of his fraternity that will include all public pictures but no private pictures.
Features, Conditions & Caveats, cont.
• Photo Rosters are only available in the campus intranet.
Technical Challenges (for me)
• My first Building Block in Blackboard.
• Pictures (JPEGs) need to be displayed as part of the photo roster, but can’t be independently accessible to the web server.
