Chapter 7: Setting up Your Training Template
Chapter 7 is special. Instead of step-by-step tutorials followed by activities, this chapter features step-by-step tutorials that ARE the chapter activities. This is the longest chapter in the book--and for good reason! It is in this chapter that you will learn how to make a weekly template for a Blackboard course.
For this reason, this chapter contains a complete video walkthrough of the entire chapter, and an easy-to-download PDF with all of the Chapter activities in one place. Please follow the instructions in either the video or the PDF to complete this chapter's activities.
