MySlice
MySlice is the human resources and financial management software used by SU (it is a customized instance of PeopleSoft by Oracle.) All SU employees use it to access and update their tax and benefit information. Students use it to register for classes. Faculty members and teaching assistants use it to access the class roster and to post final grades. MySlice is the system of record: a students is registered for a class if and only if they appear on MySlice roster.
When viewing class roster, you can click Include photos in list and then View All to have the ID photo of each student displayed next to their name.
Near the end of each semester the grade roster is made available in MySlice. In addition to using it for posting grades, you will also see which students withdrew from the course: they will be marked WD on the grade roster.
Blackboard
Blackboard is the course management system used at SU. Every section of every class, lecture or recitation, has a presence on Blackboard. The Blackboard roster is periodically synced with MySlice, which means it is updated when students add or drop, but with a delay of about 1 day. The students who withdraw from a course remain in Blackboard.
Blackboard can and should be used for many instructional purposes.
- Send messages to the class
- Post grades. The grades can be entered directly or uploaded.
- Post course materials, announcements, and collect assignments in electronic form.
Your students do not have access to your Blackboard course until you make it available to them.
