FAQs

Why don't I see the "Create a Site" button?

One possibility is that it is due to a browser cache issue. For instructions on how to clear your browser's cache, please see this help article from Google: Clear cache and cookies

Another possibility is that you are not an employee at UC Berkeley. Only UC Berkeley staff can create Project Sites.

I have created Assignments in my Project Site. Why can't I view the submissions or have access to the Gradebook?

When you create a project site, you are assigned the role of Owner; however, in order to view Assignment submissions and the Gradebook, you will need to have the Teacher or TA roles. Please contact the bCourses Help Desk and provide the link to your project site in order to request a role of Teacher.
