Blackboard can report student activity in your course through the Course Statistics tool in the Control Panel. This tutorial will show you how to compile the data for that report and briefly explain the statistics available to you.

The crucial element in this section is course availability. It’s a good idea to make the course available for your students 1 week before the first day of class so they can get acclimated to the environment. You can also manage guest access and change the display name to include your section number, for example.

Change the look of the course menu and upload a course banner. Make sure to choose a color combination that is easy to read.

Many instructors like to personalize their course. This can be done in the Control Panel by changing various settings. The tutorials below will introduce you to the Control Panel and explain the different settings that will help you manage your course.
