If your TA is not found
Your TA must have logged into eLearning at least once to establish their account in Blackboard. You cannot add them by name but must know the WSU network ID, not password, just network ID. In eLearning, the User ID and the WSU network ID are the same.
If your TA is not found you will need to tell them to go to the login page
On that login page, look for the login below the network ID and password box and have them add their account by logging in via myWSU.
The TA will only need to do the myWSU login once. After that they will be able to use the normal login box on the http://elearning.wsu.edu page.
Once they have logged in try the above procedure again via the gradebook to add your TA.
