Videos and Documentation for Blackboard
As a continual effort to help UAF Faculty and Students, we have created training videos for Blackboard.
Either watch every video in order, or pick a specific section. We will be adding more content as it is created.
If you have any additional questions, or would like more training, please contact the Support Center or join us for one of our regular classes. View the Training Calendar.
Lesson 1 covers the very basics of Blackboard. From logging in, to adding your syllabus to your course. This is a must see video for instructors who are new to Blackboard Learn.
Lesson 2 goes over the different types of content in Blackboard. Find out the fundamentals of designing and creating your course!
Lesson 3 explains the different assessments that are built right into Blackboard. Tests, Surveys, Assignments, and Grade Center are all covered here!
Lesson 4 covers the basic tools in Blackboard. Watch this lesson to learn about Campus Pack, Google Apps Integration, and the Discussion Board!
The Tips & Tricks section is just like it sounds, full of tutorials that demonstrate and show specific tasks unique to Blackboard. For example, what to do with the students that are no longer enrolled in your course, or how to do Extra credit!
