Homepage
Every Blackboard student is provided with space for building a course site Homepage. Using the Blackboard Homepage link, students have the option to enter an intro message, information about themselves, and a digital photograph. Many instructors will ask their students to build a Homepage as a means of introducing online students to their classmates. It is recommended that you complete this activity before the start of class.
Building a Homepage is a common first assignment in an online class.
Students: To add your Homepage to your course site follow these steps.
- Click the link to Homepage from the Student Tools menu
- Enter Introduction and Personal Information as directed by your professor
- Include a picture of yourself if asked (For best results, the image size should be 150x150 pixels)

- Click Submit to save
Note: Faculty use the Staff Information tool in the Control Panel to create their Blackboard Homepage. The link to the page is automatically included as a menu item in the course. For more information are creating your staff page contact ATDE by email or stop by the office in Hemenway G09.
