LTAD 3281 - Blackboard Essentials

This project-based course will introduce you to all the new tools inside CE6 and show you how to develop a new (or improved) WebCT component for your course.

Topics covered include:  Teaching Overview of WebCT Campus Edition 6, Keeping Students Informed, Designing Your Course, Creating Assignments, Assessments and Discussions, Tools for Evaluating Student Knowledge and Managing Students and Grades.

You will be introduced to the technical and pedagogical skills necessary to be a successful, effective online instructor in WebCT.  Through interactive tutorials, hands-on activities, examples, and discussions, you will learn how to keep students informed, promote a lively online learning community, work with the Grade Book, control the release of content, and effectively manage your course throughout the semester. 

NOTE:   These are online courses, with a six-week commitment, requiring approximately 90 minutes per week. Successful completion of this course counts ten credits toward your Associate Faculty Degree.

Successful completion of this course will be measured by the following components:

  1. Team interaction in all module discussions  
  2. Successful completion of all module assignments.  
  3. Evaluation of a final project the participant will produce by the end of this course.

For those who take the online courses, we strongly encourage attending the Orientation and coming into the Learning Technology Center on your campus and meeting with an Instructional Designer or LTC Manager for assistance.
