Getting Started
This textbook is designed with tutorials for the Blackboard and Collaborate tools you will be using throughout LSSC's Blackboard Faculty Training Course. Make sure you have completed the "Getting Started" unit in your Blackboard Faculty Training Course before attempting any activities.
Things You Must Know to Succeed:
- The Blackboard Training Course is broken into two levels. This book covers both levels, and some extra information, too. Chapters 1-5 in this book represent Level 1, whereas chapters 6-15 represent Level 2.
- The training course is broken into weeks, and each week covers specific chapters in this textbook. See your Blackboard Faculty Training course for details.
- The most intense chapter, activity-wise, is Chapter 7. Plan accordingly.
- This book often refers to your "Mock" or "Training Template" course. This is where you will complete most activities in this course. You can see your "Mock" or "Training Template" course in your Blackboard My LSSC page or Sections menu--it's the one labeled "training" with your last name as part of the course name, for example Training_Cole.
- You also have access to an "Example" course. In your Sections menu, the example course is labeled "Training_Example_HUM1230."
