Adding TAs with CLIPS
blackboard > tutorials > adding tas with clips
The CLassroom Information PageS (CLIPS) have a tool that allows instructors to add Teaching Assistants to their Blackboard courses. In this tutorial you will learn how to access your course CLIPS site through UTDirect, and how to use the Authorize Assistants tool to add a TA to your course.
1. To begin, go to the UT home page at http://www.utexas.edu. Click on the UTDirect logo at the bottom of the page.
2. Scroll down to CLIPS Inline Menu and click on the unique number of the primary course. Note: If you do not see your Inline Menu, follow the steps outlined in this FAQ.
3. In the left-hand navigation, scroll down to the Instructor Info area and then click on the Authorize Assistants link.
4. In the text box provided, enter the TA's EID username. If you do not know your TA's EID, you will first need to click on the EID Search Page link.
6. Assistants authorized through CLIPS will be listed as Teaching Assistants in Blackboard. The changes will be reflected in the next data feed, usually on the next business day. If you DO NOT want an individual to have TA access to your Blackboard course, you may give them student access by using the Enrolling a user tutorial.
