Overview
of Blackboard Areas/Sections:
 |
The
Announcement area is designed as a primary point of contact
for your students. |
| The
Course Information area is used to display general information
about the course. |
| The
Staff Information section is provided for instructors
to post information about themselves, teaching assistants, and/or
guest speakers. |
| The
Course Documents area is designed to hold the majority
of prepared course materials. |
| The
Assignments area holds course assignments, tests, quizzes,
and surveys. |
| The
Communication area holds all of the communication tools.
Discussion, Virtual Chat, Email are located here, along with
Student and Group pages. |
| The
External Links area lists helpful URLs you can use or
view related course material. |
| The
Student Tools area holds the tools needed to submit information
to the instructor, view a course calendar, check grades, manage
homepages, and edit profiles. |
An
instructor may select a different label for the Blackboard areas
and corresponding navigation buttons from a drop-down list that
includes: Bibliography, Books, Course Information, Course Documents,
Course Materials, Documents, Homework, Information, Lectures, Labs,
Projects, Syllabus, Textbook, and Assignments.
However,
it is not possible to create a customized label - there is no "other"
that would allow you to enter your own label title.
