Blackboard Essentials Badge

Criteria

  • Successful completion of seminar and submitted reflection.
  • Alternately, faculty with extensive Blackboard skills may request that an Instructional Designer review one or more of their Blackboard course sites. To pass this review, faculty must demonstrate each of the skills/tasks in the Blackboard Competency requirements. To claim a badge via this method, please use the claim button on this page and instead of noting when you attend the Essentials seminar, give specific information about which Blackboard courses you would like reviewed; please include department, course number, section number, and term. To count for review, it must be clear to the Instructional Designer that the setup of each Blackboard site was conducted by the faculty member in question (i.e. team-taught courses or courses with many sections and a course coordinator may not qualify). In addition, faculty must still submit a 300 word reflective statement about what plans they have for further use of Blackboard and its features.

Deadline

End of the semester following the semester in which the badge-worthy activity took place.
