How to meet synchronously (everyone logs on at the same time)

How to see if your Blackboard site is ready

  • Add your Syllabus and course content
  • Add web links
  • Add files, images, audio and video
  • Remind your students that all official CSI emails (including messages sent through Blackboard) are sent to their CUNY email address.  They should be checking this email daily.
  • Create an Announcement to greet your students.  ** Students can receive your announcement by email but cannot reply directly to it. **
  • Make sure your students know about the Blackboard Mobile App
  • Set up your Grade Center. ** This is the only way you are allowed to electronically share grades **
  • Use Student Preview  to view your course from a Student perspective.
