Student Home Pages

Overview

Blackboard provides space for you to have a personal home page for each course in which you are enrolled. Depending on your instructor's plans this page might be used for course specific postings or for more personal information. In distance education settings this page might be used to provide information so you can get to know your classmates. Creating a Blackboard home page requires no special web development skills. You only need to be able to enter information in a web form.

1. Click on the tools link on the navigation menu for your course. Blackboard will display a list of tools that you can use.
