West Lafayette Blackboard Vista Institutions


There are now three Blackboard institutions at the West Lafayette campus. All for-credit, academic classes (along with student rosters) are pushed from Banner to Blackboard Vista into the West Lafayette Academic Campus Institution.

  1. West Lafayette Academic Campus
    • Will host all for-credit, academic classes.
    • All users must have Purdue career accounts to log in to this institution.
    • Classes are pushed exclusively from Banner.
    • Banner will automatically add and drop students and auditors, and this data is pushed to Blackboard. No students or auditors can be added directly to a Vista section; all data comes from Banner.
    • Additional Instructors, Teaching Assistants and Designers can be added to a Blackboard section by the Instructor or a Course Roster Viewer via the Add Instructor, TA, or Designer application. Designers can also be added via the grade book.
  2. West Lafayette Open Campus
    • Will host all credit and non-credit classes where enrollment includes non-Purdue students.
    • All users must create their own accounts.
    • Classes are manually created by Teaching and Learning Technologies upon request.
    • Students can be manually enrolled by instructors, or may self-enroll.
    • Teaching Assistants and Designers can be added via the grade book. Contact itap@purdue.edu to add additional instructors.
  3. OnePurdue (to be renamed this Fall)
