The gray panel on the left side of the screen contains the Course Menu and Course Management menu. The Course Menu is the upper half of the gray panel, and is visible to both students and instructors. It looks something like this. |
 |
The Course Management menu appears just below the Course Menu and is titled "Course Management." Important entries in the menu include Course Tools, Grade Center, and Users and Groups. Instructors can see the Course Management menu, but students can not. |
 |
In the Course Management Menu, clicking on "Course Tools" will open a sub-menu with many options. Some of the most important tools are "Announcements," "Blackboard Collaborate Ultra," "Discussion Board," "Send Email," and "Tests, Surveys and Pools." |
 |
Near the upper right of the Blackboard screen, you'll find some important editing controls. A: The icon that looks like two curved arrows around a central dot lets you enter Student Preview Mode. B: The padlock icon indicates whether the course is open to students (as shown) or closed to keep students from seeing the content. C: The Edit Mode button must be set to ON for you to change any course content or to see content that has been marked unavailable to students. |
