Organization Request
This form is for requesting an organization shell in Blackboard, which functions similarly to a course shell but is designed for non-academic purposes. Organizations are versatile spaces that can be used for various institutional needs such as training areas, information sharing hubs, orientation programs, or practice assessment environments. By completing this form, you're asking for a dedicated area to manage and share content with a specific group or for a particular purpose outside of traditional coursework. You'll need to provide a name and brief description for your organization, explaining its intended use and goals. If you need content copied from an existing organization, you can indicate that here as well. Organizations are ideal for ongoing institutional activities, departmental collaborations, or any group that needs a centralized online space for communication and resource sharing. Unlike sandboxes, organizations are typically long-term and won't be automatically removed, making them suitable for recurring or permanent non-course activities within the university community.
Please reach out to qm@lamar.edu if you have any questions about sandboxes, or need form assistance.
