There are several online tools in Blackboard that can be used to maintain communication with your students. Faculty are encouraged to select one or two of these tools that students can come to expect will be your primary means of relaying important and relevant information.

We recommend using Blackboard Announcements, which will post a message in your course, and it can also be sent as an email.

Guide your students where to locate course information in Blackboard and provide detailed instructions for assignments, online meetings, and tools that will be used to substitute face-to-face time.
