Blackboard Migration Training Update


Attention all ANGEL-trained faculty! If you have already attended training or are scheduled for March training dates you can disregard this message. Blackboard Migration Training dates for Brighton and Damon City campuses and a link to registration are listed on the attached PDF. Registration is now open for April and May dates only. Registration for June through August dates will open in mid-April. There will also be a self-paced, fully online, training option, available in May.

As you know, Blackboard Learn will become MCC’s only course management system beginning with courses taught in fall 2014. This training focuses on how to migrate your existing courses from ANGEL to Blackboard, and is presented in three sessions which cover the following topics:

- Navigating and Creating Content - addresses the basics of navigating and customizing your course shell and explores how to create, configure, modify and organize course content in a meaningful way.

- Interaction and Assessment - reviews the different avenues for interaction in Blackboard Learn, and the various assessment techniques made available. Participants will be able to create, configure and deploy discussions, tests, and assignments to students.

- Teaching and Managing your Course - focuses on using Blackboard Learn as a management tool and will cover how to configure the Grade Center to meet your needs, collect students’ submissions, and monitor student progress.
