Bb Training for Faculty

In addition to supporting and administrating the Bb system for faculty, TMI also facilitates faculty training via the Blackboard User Community, which provides comprehensive faculty training in the use, design, and development of courses in Bb. 

Our core program is compromised of:

- Orientation
- Management
- Assignments
- Tests & Surveys
- Communications
- Grade Center 

In order to be able to teach a fully online course, faculty are also required to successfully complete IDST-10, a 1.5-unit online course that fosters the development of online courses. Read More...

All sessions are completely optional for faculty to attend, but attendance is strongly encouraged to make best use of the tools available.

More resources for faculty

Numerous tutorials on using the Bb system can be found in the Blackboard User Community, located within Blackboard. This is available to all BC faculty.

Faculty are encouraged to request a "Sandbox" course from TMI via e-mail. This type of course is where instructors can practice the use of new tools and/or prepare content for export to actual Bb course shells. No students have access to this type of course. 

Instructors needing further assistance should contact TMI staff at tmi@butte.edu
