Blackboard Vista New Features & Tips

Hide/Show and Sort courses in your My Blackboard Vista Course List

Though it is not possible to remove old courses from your course list, it is now possible to hide and/or sort courses in your My Blackboard Vista Course List making it easier to find the courses you want to access.

NOTE: If you have more than one course title that start the same way pay attention their current order; you may not be able to see the entire name in the “Edit Course List” screen.

1. In the Course List title bar, click the Pencil icon.
2. If you want to hide a course, on the right in the “Visibility” column, click Hide Link.
   NOTE: This option is a toggle; when you can see a course the option is to Hide Link but when the course is hidden the option is to Show Link.
   • You can also check a box or boxes to the left of the course title(s) and click the Hide or Show buttons at the bottom of the Edit Course List table.
3. If you want to sort the list check the box to the left of the course title you want to change and in the “Move” column click the Move Options icon, either above or below where it should go, and select either Move Selected Above or Move Selected Below from the drop-down menu.
4. When you are done editing the order/display of your course list you need to click on the My Blackboard Vista tab.
   NOTE: There is no Save, OK or Apply button to this edit area. It looks like it is already selected but you can click on the My Blackboard Vista tab to return to your My Blackboard Vista page.
