Introduction to Blackboard Workshop
This hands-on workshop introduces you to the many features of Blackboard,
and gives you a forum to ask questions. Among other things, you'll
be introduced to our automated system, learn how to add content and
graphics to a course site, and create folders.
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 at the beginning of each semester.
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 see our multimedia tutorial, The Blackboard Basics.
Additional Workshops
These workshops will give you the extra skills and tools you need
to make your Blackboard course not just useful, but an interactive,
communications-rich addition to your class.
The Blackboard Gradebook
This workshop will include posting grades for assignments and exams,
choosing options for displaying grades, accessing the different
gradebook views, adjusting or weighting gradebook items, exporting
the gradebook to Excel, and viewing gradebook item statistics.
Prerequisite: Intro to Blackboard or Equivalent Knowledge

What should I bring?
