Blackboard Version 9 Panel

On October 30th at 3:00 in TC101 there will be a panel of staff from University Computing Systems who will answer questions about the new version of Blackboard. Please note that they will only be answering questions that have previously been submitted.

Session #16: Summary

Our guest in session #16 was Yasemin Tunc, Director of Learning Technologies Consulting and Support, Unified Technology Support.

Yasemin began with an overview of the assessment tools in Blackboard. She demonstrated how to design, announce, and link a test in a course.

Next, Yasemin shared how the assessment tools and the assignment tools interact in Blackboard.

Finally, the group had a discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of rGrade, the Web Gradebook, and the Blackboard Gradebook.

Thanks to all who participated in the session.

I will announce the November LTTO Session soon.
