Teaching with Technology Tips

Blackboard Course Preview Week

Blackboard sites will go live one week prior to the start of the semester to allow students access to the course syllabus and important course announcements.   It is important to have your course syllabus and contact information available to students.  

Review these Start of the Semester Tips to help you prepare your course the new semester.

If you are still working in your Blackboard course and wish to hide areas of the course from students, use these steps to reorder and manage course menu items. Please do not make the course unavailable, as this may cause confusion for students.
