Learning About Blackboard

Workshops

CDE offers two series of Blackboard workshops: Essentials and Comprehensive. Essentials are single, 2-hour workshops which cover specific topics such as communication tools or assessments and the grade center. Comprehensive is a 4-day series of workshops (meets for 2 hours each day) which starts with the basics and works up to more advanced topics. The workshops are held continuously throughout the semester. Please check our Workshops calendar for upcoming course dates.
