Introduction:

Blackboard® is a course management tool that offers many customizable features to help students learn online and in a regular classroom.

Not only can you deliver course materials to students so they are available anytime from anywhere, you can engage students in online discussions and use social networking tools that they may already use (this will be Blogs and Wikis- but also tagging and rating posts).

Blackboard is fully supported by Instructional Development Services for any questions you may have.

Getting Started:

1. To begin preparing your online course first review the guides and other materials on the Blackboard Support Site at http://irt.austincc.edu/blackboard/.
Along with the latest manual and other information, you can print the Quickstart Guides to help you configure your course site and add content items.
2. You can register for face-to-face workshops through the ACC Workshop Registration Database at https://www3.austincc.edu/it/workshops/www/login.php . Use the search term “Blackboard” to find the dates and times for available workshops. Workshops will be offered throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. Online Blackboard® workshops will also be available this fall.
3. If you would like personal assistance or have additional questions about pedagogical strategies using Blackboard, Discussion Forums and other features, contact an Instructional Design Specialist at your nearest campus.
