by Laura Paciorek (June 2011)

This video shows the viewer how to create “mark reviewed” buttons on their course website items, in Blackboard, so students have a way to check off each item as it is completed. This helps students insure that they do not miss any items as they go through their tasks in the class each week.

Designing Your Menu in Blackboard

by Laura Paciorek (June 2011)

This video demonstrates for the viewer how to make the items in the left menu appear in larger text, in bold, and in italics. This technique may be used to bring students’ attention to different items in the left menu. This might be helpful for instructors who want to insure the left menu items are prioritized and organized in ways that help the student understand their importance and/or purpose. Instructors may also simply enjoy making the menu look a little different, adding to the visual interest of the course design.
