Blackboard: Overview Training for New Faculty and Adjuncts This workshop will give you the tools to get started using Blackboard confidently on day 1 of classes. We will look at functionality, ways to implement, and best practices. |
January 8-10, 2019 (TBD) |
|
Blackboard: Getting Started This workshop provides a hands-on introduction to the Blackboard Learn interface and organization features. You will focus on navigation, course style, and the process of planning, adding, and organizing links on the course menu. Along the way, you will examine different strategies for organizing the course menu, which is the students’ access point to tools and content. Finally, you will consider ways you can influence your students’ impressions of the online learning environment.

Blackboard: Assignments The assignments tool enables you to collect student documents uploaded in Blackboard. Use it to create, manage, and distribute activities that assess students in meaningful ways beyond traditional objective tests. The Grade Center's organization and management capabilities are incorporated into the assignments tool, allowing you to provide feedback and grades efficiently. |
February 18 and 19: Noon JL127B |
|
Blackboard: Discussions Online discussions provide some unique benefits. Because students can take time to ponder before posting ideas, you may see more thoughtful conversations play out. You can observe as students demonstrate their grasp of the material and correct misconceptions. You can extend your office hours by reaching students more often during the week so learning is continuous. |
March 18 and 19: Noon JL127B |
|
Blackboard: Groups In this workshop, you learn to facilitate collaboration among students by setting up groups. In Blackboard Learn, groups can have their own discussion board, blog, journals, and wikis. Group members can exchange documents, submit group assignments, send email to other group members, and distribute tasks to keep the group on track. |
April 22 and 23: Noon JL127B |
