Blackboard Tip

Put Your Syllabus on Blackboard

 

Introduction
Having a syllabus available online is a real convenience to students and faculty alike. Instructors often make the syllabus available under the Course Information menu button. That is where we will place it in the example below.

Directions
From the Course Tools menu in the Control Panel:

  • Click on Course Information in the Content Areas sub-menu.
  • Click Add Item.
  • On the Add Content screen, choose Syllabus from the drop down menu of standard names

  • In the text field, type any note that you want to appear under the link to the syllabus. For example: Read this carefully. You may want to print a paper copy of the syllabus.
     
  • In the Content Attachments section of the screen, click the Browse button to search for the file that contains your syllabus. When you find it, click the files name and click the Open button.
     
  • If you want the name of the link to be something other than the name of your file, type that name into the Name of Link to File field.
     
  • To make the syllabus immediately available, leave the rest of the fields as they are. To delay when the syllabus will be available, click Display After and choose a date.
     
  • Click Submit.
