Are you a New TA? Join us for this online workshop for an overview of key features in Blackboard.
This session will introduce teaching assistants to commonly used features of the Blackboard learning management system. Topics include adding and sharing instructional content, communicating with students, and using the Gradebook. An overview of the Assignment, Discussion, and Test features will be provided, and if time allows some additional Edtech tools that can be integrated into Blackboard will also be shared.
During this session, we'll be referring to this On-Demand TA Training for Blackboard and Ed Tech course, which you are welcome to register for and explore even if you are unable to attend the workshop (netID login required).
