Online courses can be quite different from teaching courses in a traditional on-ground classroom. Sometimes instructors are surprised to learn they were really unprepared for the online environment.

Faculty Tutorials

The Faculty Tutorials page will show faculty how to create discussion board forums, how to grade assignments, how to allow students additional attempts for online tests, and more.

Online Course Readiness

The Online Course Readiness page will help you determine if online courses are right for you, preparation tips for teaching in an online environment, and getting started for online courses at GSU.

Technology Requirements

The Technology Requirements page will show faculty members what technology is required for Blackboard. You should be able to use all of the main features in Blackboard, but certain features may require you to enable plug-ins or update its version.

Additional Resources

The Additional Resources page will show what resources are available to you and your students. Take advantage of these resources to assist your teaching practices.

Blackboard Known Issues

The Blackboard Known Issues page shows what issues reported by users and are logged in the Blackboard Inc. Known Issues Database.
