My Blackboard Tips and Tricks

There has been a lot of discussion about the most efficient ways to use Blackboard. Here, I am going to post a few videos on some of the things that I do to make my life much easier.

The constant refreshing of the screen and the cumbersome way things are laid out simply make using it online extremely difficult. This first video shows how to download the assignments and sections of the grade book so that you can do your grading anywhere, even when there isn’t an Internet connection iframe not supported! This is the first in a series of videos planned. Please post any comments or suggestions.
