  • Add Avatar to Blackboard

    +

    This avatar will also show when you submit content to Discussions, Wikis, Blogs, Journals, etc. Some Instructors will require Students to add an avatar in an online setting because they would like to put a face to a name. It makes the environment a little warmer when responding to posts, rather than just seeing a silhouette and a name.
