ISLT 7372 - Exploring Blackboard
Course Description: This course will prepare you to work within the Blackboard (BB) Learning Management System (LMS) to set up and manage an online course. As a student in this course, you will investigate and manipulate components of Blackboard from an instructor’s perspective.
Reflection: Before entering this class, I had been curious to learn more about teaching online courses. Aside from having a multitude of learning experience online, I have only taught two online classes for our local community college over the past three years. These classes are used to train our local teachers on how to set up and maintain their class websites. I use Blackboard as my instructional management system. This class fueled my interest in learning more about online teaching and possibly applying to another college in the future to teach online part-time. I would also like to get into developing online curricula. One thing that I gained from this course is the variety of tools available for teachers to utilize. I really liked being able to not only participate in this course, but to also develop my own pseudo course with BlackBoard. While I had prior experience with BlackBoard, this course opened my eyes and taught me new tools that I have been able to use in the course I am currently teaching for our local community college.
