Course Design

1. From your course Control Panel expand the Customisation menu and choose Teaching Style.

Point of Entry

2. The course entry point is the first menu item that students see when they enter the course. If you wish to change it from announcements use the dropdown menu.

Accessible?

To be sure that the colour scheme you have chosen for your menu is accessible we recommend using the Colour Contrast Checker Tool and paste into it the background colour code you have chosen for your menu background colour and the Text colour into the foreground colour box and ensure that Are colours compliant and WCAG 2AA Compliant are set at YES.

Content Appearance

5. Now we can set the default content view. This is the way in which course content is displayed, either with various combinations of text and icons. To find out more about the different views access our guide on changing content area appearance.

Banner and submit

6. If you have a course banner you can upload it here. More information is available on our web site.

Rearrange modules on the homepage

After I log in, I'm taken to the Blackboard homepage where there is lots of university information organized into modules. However, some of the ways that modules are arranged make no sense to me, or put information that I don't need at the top of the screen.

Add relevant modules that I use often

One of my favorite ways that I customize my Blackboard homepage is by adding relevant modules that I use often. Many of my friends are often surprised to find out that they can get a notepad module for writing quick notes, or that there's a way to get updates on campus construction.

Collapse or remove modules

It's easy to get carried away with adding new modules and to forget the original goal of making Blackboard less cluttered and easier to see. Luckily, most modules can be collapsed or removed with no issues!

Configure MyTab

Instead of having a bunch of modules on one page, I prefer to use the MyTab page as a place for additional modules that I can customize further. For me, MyTab currently has a notepad, calculator, and research links so I can easily access information for my assignments.

Add custom URLs to course list

Within the Course List module, I can add up to 5 custom website links for accessing courses that are hosted on another website, or websites I visit often for my classes. For example, I have a link to my favorite online IDE so that I can easily open it in a new tab and work with code alongside the view of my course.

Display course menu in a new window

One of my professors loved to put a ton of information in the course menu, which I found somewhat difficult to read with large text. Instead of trying to magnify a relatively small amount of information on the page, I prefer to open the course menu in a new window, so that all of the information fits on the screen and is easier to magnify.

Add high contrast settings

People who use high contrast displays or inverted screens may benefit from adding high contrast settings that override the custom Blackboard color palettes.
