Top Asked Questions

How do I merge a course? ⮚ To consolidate or merge a course means that multiple courses will be taught through a single Blackboard course; this is typically used when teaching multiple sections of the same course. To do this, on the "Administrator Panel" in the "Courses" section, select Courses.

Video Recording

No, you cannot record directly through Blackboard. To record and put a video on Blackboard, you can use Panopto, VoiceThread, One Button Studio, or any of our other video recording options.

Email

To send an email through Blackboard, open the Tools section from the Course Menu and navigate to "Send Email." Click this and select to whom you wish to send the email. If you choose "Select Users," it will ask you to choose which users from the course you wish to send the email to.

Class Discussion

To create a discussion thread, open the Discussions section on the Course Menu and select "Create Forum." Type a name, add a description if desired, and then go through availability and date/time restrictions, as well as grading and viewing settings.

Grading

To assign grades in the Grade Center, open the Grade Center in the Control Panel in your course, and you can upload grades from an external source, such as an Excel spreadsheet, or manually assign grades by clicking and selecting the student and the assignment. Be sure to "Submit" the grades before leaving the Grade Center.
