  7. On Class List page, your class list will appear if you have students enrolled in the course. If you have more than 20 students, use the Records: 1-20 21-40 links to toggle between students. Only 20 will appear on a page.
  8. Under Student Name, click on the drop down arrow to view your students local address, phone number and usieagles.org email address.

MyUSI is USI’s portal which allows access to multiple products with one easy login.

Blackboard is classified as course management software or courseware.

Both share a few similar features such as chat, announcements, calendar.

The course resources found under myUSI are basic tools delivered with the product, but myUSI is not courseware. If you have already created a Blackboard site for your course, you may choose to add a link for this site under the Course Homepage in myUSI.

If you have not already designed anything for your course under Blackboard and need only basic chat, message board, e-mail, and a way to add links for your course, you may choose to use the Course Resources under myUSI.

Some functions are only available during certain periods. The Registrar’s Office will control what time periods certain functions are allowed.

What is a channel in myUSI?

March 11th, 2008

MyUSI provides informational content through a mechanism called channels. In general, channels provide at-a-glance information with click-throughs to expanded content or Web resources. Channels are similar to the content modules that are aviable on sites such as Netscape.com and Yahoo.com.

Some typical channels that you may see include information like:

  • How many appointments are on your calendar
  • A preview of the first few messages in your email inbox
  • A place to keep bookmarks that is accessible from any computer
  • Links USI information
  • Access to course schedules or administrative services

Normally when you sign into myUSI it says Graduate Studies/Liberal Arts/Education/Health Professions/Nursing/Science/University Division across the top.  Sometimes, the banner that you see has nothing to do with your affiliation with the University of Southern Indiana.  It may, for example show you the Liberal Arts banner when you are, in fact, studying Nursing.This is probably due to a mistake in either your records with the university (i.e. the major we have on file for you is not your major) or on our part (i.e. we have configured the system wrong in this instance) or both.

Please check with your advisor and/or the Registrar to make sure that the major that we have on file for you is in fact the major that you are attempting to complete.

Also, please send a message to myusi@usi.edu to let us know that there may be a potential problem and we will try to resolve it as quickly as possbile.

We’ll not here that these banners are completely cosmetic and don’t affect your records in any way.  We will fix them if there are displaying incorrectly, but they have no real impact on you and your interactions with the university in any way.
