Blackboard Tech Library
The Blackboard Tech Library is a step-by-step guide to organizing your online course in the Blackboard Learn Learning Management System. This guide will provide you with a format that is intuitive and easy for your students to navigate.
Teaching online can be one of the most fulfilling jobs, but it can also be one of the most frustrating jobs as well. Becoming familiar with new educational technology tools and learning to navigate that tech can be overwhelming and aggravating. Even worse is the lack of support and assistance provided to educators encountering new technologies such as a Learning Management System (LMS).
I've been using the Blackboard Learn LMS for over 15 years and have learned many things from the perspective of both a student and an educator.
After all of that time, I have developed an amazing step-by-step guide to getting your online course up and running with ease. The Blackboard Tech Library will provide you with insights into every aspect of the Blackboard Learn (LMS). But don’t worry, there are no theoretical frameworks to learn; it’s all clear, step-by-step guidance that will walk you through how to set up your course in a way that is easy for both you and your students to navigate.
The Blackboard Tech Library will help you to...
1. Organize your course information in way that is easy to navigate
2. Add your course documents to your online course so that is is easily accessible to students
3. Create areas in your online course for students to submit their work and collaborate with each other
4. Identify tools that will enhance your online course and sense of community among your students
5. Set up your Grade Center to do your grade calculations throughout the semester
So if you’re ready to finally overcome the tech overwhelm while avoiding the frustrations, I'll show you how you can get there!
