Student (Course) Tools

All users in a Blackboard course site have access to a set of tools. Similar to the Communication tools, each professor has the option to select only the tools which will enhance their web-based learning environment. Tools used in many course sites provide students with options to develop and modify a personal home page, check grades in a secure environment, reference a Blackboard user manual, participate in a course Blog or Wiki, or view course Portfolios. Options displayed in the graphic below are described on the following page.
