  Workshop Description  
   
  Have you never used Blackboard, Virginia Tech's online course management system, and are ready to give it a try? This short course, structured for those absolutely new to Blackboard, will present participants with an overview of Blackboard's capabilities while providing essential information that will allow anyone teaching at Virginia Tech to have a web presence for his/her course. This session will consist of a hands-on demonstration of an exemplary Blackboard course, and participants will be allowed to explore this course as if a student. Blackboard's key features will be highlighted. Participants will also be given a hands-on tour of the essential course designer tools that are a part of Blackboard and will learn how to upload documents into the system. An overview of Virginia Tech's support options for Blackboard will also be presented. Hands-on activities will be an integral part of this session.
