Seems like an eternity such the calamities of Blackboard, 2009! Love it or hate it, Blackboard is here for awhile, and I wanted to make everyone aware that the Commons Wiki has a lot of information that makes Blackboard use less painful.

Need help setting up a class on Blackboard? Having problems uploading files? Want to add some journal articles to your class site? Check out Integrating Library Resources into Blackboard.

Looking for some examples of Blackboard classes? See Sample Course and Modules. It provides links to CUNY courses set up in Blackboard and can give you an idea what’s possible.

And before you start, check out Design a Lean and Clean Online Interface to Promote Learning for guidance and best practices.

And finally, Karen Greenberg’s Blackboard Tips and Tricks is a great resource to consult when you get stuck. It links to other pages within the category, including How to Create Student Group for your Course.
