Blackboard Tips

This part of the tutorial contains some suggestions on how to get the most out of Blackboard.

  • Keep information up-to-date and timely.
  • Personalize your site by:
    - Adding a welcome statement under Announcements (Control Panel > Course Tools > Announcements).
    - Adding an instructor profile (Control Panel > Course Tools > Staff Information).
  • Use Blackboard as an integral part of your class, not as a substitute or add-on:
    - Use assignments which require the use of Blackboard.
    - Use the class discussion forum to encourage student learning and discussion outside of class.
