Creating a WASS Calendar in BlackBoard 9

First, log into Blackboard, then open a new tab/window and log into https://glassfish.stockton.edu/wass/pages/login.page.php with your GoStockton credentials. ****First-time users only!**** Choose the “Create Calendar” option, located near the top-left of the page. Edit any details about the calendar, and select “Save”. Then click “View Calendar” to begin adding scheduling blocks. ****Returning users begin here!**** Next, choose the “Add Blocks” option.

Fill in the appropriate information, including the calendar title, your name, e-mail address you’d like to be contacted at, block time, and amount of blocks that individuals can reserve. Save your progress at the bottom.

Copy the details at the next prompt, and make sure to retain them for a later step.

Return to BlackBoard, and inside of the desired course, create a content area to place your calendar links into, be sure to check “Available to Users”.

Now choose “Build Content” then ‘Stockton Create Appointment Scheduling”.

Paste the details from the WASS form into the “user-defined parameters” field. Be sure to clear out any extra spaces before or after the text, as they will produce an error if left in.

After saving, a calendar link will appear in the folder you chose. This is where students will go to schedule appointments. To find the calendar code for Blackboard after a block has already been created, simply navigate to the date you’d like to access and click on the time slot link.

Then, click on the Edit icon (represented as a pencil) located to the left of the scheduling blocks, and you’ll be presented with a window similar to the one seen when initially creating the block.

The calendar code is displayed at the top of the screen.
