For some time CMU's
Blackboard tutorials and guides have been housed among
several different Information Technology, ProfEd and FACIT
departmental Web sites
– which made the process of locating a particular
resource a pretty cumbersome operation, at best. After
reviewing the tutorials on the different sites, it was clear
that the resources themselves were also in need of
updating.
To resolve these issues,
FACIT, ProfEd and Information Technology have
collaboratively created a one-stop-Blackboard Web site, now
active and available online at:
www.cmich.edu/blackboard/home.asp.
The Web site contains an
updated collection of faculty and student Blackboard-related
tutorials, including text-based Adobe Acrobat documents with
screenshots and frequently asked questions, as well as
Flash-based videos, which allow users to watch and listen as
each step of a task is demonstrated. Additional links
provide background information about how Blackboard works at
CMU, explaining the snapshot process, course identification,
the Bb status page, support contacts and some of the
benefits of using Blackboard.
The new site will be an
ongoing project, updated with new tutorials and additional
expanded resources useful to faculty and students alike. Be
sure to bookmark the page and check back frequently to keep
up-to-date on the newest Blackboard.
