Reading week is the perfect time to brush up on your Blackboard knowledge. Join the Centre for Teaching and Learning on Tuesday, October 13th, 1pm-3pm, for a free introductory workshop.
There are still spaces available in the Centre for Teaching and Learning’s latest Blackboard training session for GAs/TAs. “Do You Need Blackboard for What You’ll Do? An Introduction for TAs & GAs” is a beginner-level crash course for all things Blackboard. This is your opportunity to get acquainted with the University of Windsor’s new learning management system.
The Blackboard team will be covering a number of topics, including:
- deciphering CLEW to Blackboard jargon,
- finding help when using Blackboard,
- uploading course material to your site,
- creating an announcement and sending an email to all students,
- customizing your site by managing your site tools,
- inline grading of an assignment (with SafeAssign),
- posting and grading of a discussion thread,
- posting grades into the Grade Centre, and
- tips and tricks for using Blackboard.
This is also your chance to bring questions. Instructors will be discussing your areas of concern (time permitting).
Spaces in these sessions are limited, and judging by the way they filled up at GATAcademy, they won’t stay open for long. Register today at http://cleo.uwindsor.ca/
