Subject Area: |
Select a subject area and discipline from the lists by clicking on the drop-down arrows. The Subject Area and Discipline associate the course with research information available from the BlackboardResourceCenter. This is a deprecated feature from Blackboard 5 and has been removed from the Create Course functions. A default value is listed when each course is created. The default value for Subject Area and Discipline may only be changed on the Course Properties page. These fields should not be used as metadata to describe the course and can be safely ignored by most users. |

Note: The Course ID does not appear on the Course Properties page as a field that can be modified. Changing the Course ID of a course will render all content in the course inaccessible. If a Course ID must be changed, use the Course Copy feature or Export and Import Course features to move the course content to a new course with the desired Course ID. After verifying that all necessary information has transferred to the new course, archive and then remove the old course from the system to avoid confusion with the new course.
