The control panel in Blackboard provides you with access to a suite of course management tools. You can access the control panel from inside any Blackboard course underneath the left hand customisable navigation panel and just underneath “course management” section.
The Control Panel can be found below the Course Menu when you are in a Blackboard course. Here, you can change settings for the course, adjust the look and feel of the course, access the Grade Center, and communicate with students.
A role is assigned to a user account that does not include access to the course Control Panel. However, the user is also assigned a role that does include access to the Control Panel. The user receives the privilege, even though it was excluded from one of the assigned roles.
