Creating an Announcement on Blackboard
Learn how to send an announcement to your students through Blackboard to relay information quickly and efficiently.
Transfer grades from Blackboard to UAConnect
The transfer process is straightforward. In essence, you simply indicate in Blackboard which grade column you want to transfer, tell Blackboard to extract those grades, then go to UAConnect, select grades as usual, and use the big yellow button plainly marked “Upload from Bb” to complete the transfer. If any grades were not successfully transferred, UAConnect will tell you. Just enter them manually in the usual way. The final step – using “submitted” and “save” – is the same as always.
Import Items To Your Course
Did you know that you can save time by importing menu items, sometimes called institutional content, into your course that are regularly and automatically updated? You can add the menu items for several tools to your course that will provide detailed instructions for your students on using that particular tool. In just a few simple steps, you can add the menu items to your course for tools such as clickers and CLASS+.
