Details

In this workshop, you will learn the basic functionalities that you will need to grade and provide feedback to students in Blackboard. We will discuss the types of grading options, how to access completed assignments, and how to organize and manage the grade center. This workshop is intended for instructors and graduate students with limited experience using Blackboard, but all who teach may attend. We will be discussing Blackboard Original Course View only.

This is the third in a series of three workshops on Blackboard Original Course View basics. You do not need to attend all three workshops. The other workshops will cover Blackboard Fundamentals and Assessments and Activities.


Register


** Registration Procedures Update **

In order for attendees to personally track their current registrations and attendance at certificate of completion workshops and events, the Center for Teaching Excellence requires that all registrants create an account in our registration system and login to register for all workshops.

 

If you have an existing training account with the Division of Human Resources, Office of Organizational and Professional Development, you do not need to create an account. You can login using your HR training username and password. By logging in to register for CTE events, your complete training record for both CTE and HR trainings will be available with a single account and login. Check Training Record.

 

Participants must attend a workshop in its entirety to receive credit for the workshop in their training records. Late arrival and/or early exit from a workshop invalidates receiving credit. If technology issues require rescheduling of a workshop, participants must attend the workshop at the rescheduled time to receive credit. These policies apply to all CTE workshops/events, including workshops that qualify as requirements/electives for a certificate of completion.
