Blackboard 9.1: Quick Start Training
Don't have time for the longer Blackboard classes? This class is for you!
This brief class covers several basic skill areas that most Blackboard instructors need. You will work in your own courses in Blackboard during this class, so be sure to create a class, or request one to be created for you prior to coming to training.
You should also bring your syllabus, a PowerPoint or Word file, and some example test questions with you to class.

- Tips on how to copy/paste from Word into Blackboard without hassles
- The Assignment area - Creating an assignment
- Working with the Grade Center - learn how Assignments and Tests automatically appear - adding an item manually and entering grades
