On your way to class with another three-foot stack of handouts to dole
out? Just told to add a 16th office hour to your already hectic calendar?
Wrist cramping from grading all those exams? The Blackboard Learning
System can help you out! This rich, online course-management system provides
you, the instructor, with the tools to easily present class materials on
the Web, communicate online with an entire class, and track what the heck
they’re learning in there — from the comfort of your laptop, if that’s where
you’re working. Blackboard For Dummies is a kinder, gentler way to learn how
to use Blackboard as an instructor. This book isn’t designed to be read from
cover to cover (we won’t tell anyone if you really want to, though) — it’s the
handy desk reference you’ve been looking for. Feel free to skip right to the
essentials!
