I chose to use Blackboard to create course shell. I made a
very simple lab safety course.
First I added the dates, and name of the course. Next it
gave me a link to invite students. Here is the information it gave me.
Congratulations! You created your
course and are almost finished! Now, it's time to let your students know about
your course! Below are a few ways to get them started.
1. Have them visit your CourseSites
Instructor Home Page at:
https://ksiembieda.coursesites.com
2. Have them enroll, request
enrollment or login directly from the Course Home Page at:
https://www.coursesites.com/s/_LAB101
3. Invite, Enroll, or Create
students from within the course.

If you want to see the course the password is LAB.
Next I experimented with adding content. I was able to add
video, a PDF, a word document, a discussion and hyperlink a game. The main
issue I had was organizing the information. Blackboard gives many options which
can be overwhelming for a novice. They have a step by step guide which I loosely
followed. I feel like I was able to skip around a little. The more familiar I
get with the course site the more features I will be able to add. What helped
me was logging on as a student to see what the course looked like. I add some
issues reordering content. I was not totally happy with the organization, but
Blackboard would not let me safe the content after I reordered it. I plan to
see if there is a way to reedit the content.
