Introduction to Blackboard
This is a two-hour hands-on workshop that introduces you to the
features of Blackboard, shows you how to add content to your course
and gives you a forum to ask questions. You'll add content and graphics
to a practice site, learn about the online gradebook and communication
features such as the Discussion Board and practice customizing the
look of your course. Although Blackboard is a relatively easy, point
and click program, there are some basic procedures that all instructors
should know. Even if you're a savvy computer user, this workshop
will show you things that will save you time in the long run.
Introduction to Blackboard Workshops are offered weekly at the
beginning of each semester and then monthly throughout the rest
of the semester. Attendance at an Introduction to Blackboard Workshop
is required before you can receive a course site on the Blackboard
Server. If you are unable to attend a scheduled Introduction to
Blackboard Workshop and would like to get started on your course
site before the next scheduled workshop, please contact the Blackboard
Help Desk.
Intermediate Workshops
Once you're comfortable with the basic workings of Blackboard,
we suggest taking one or more intermediate
workshops that are offered throughout the semester.
