Hi, so I teach pilot students and mainly uses Pdf course books and personal edited PowerPoint notes. Will blackboard be ideal for this? Are there any subscriptions ?
I don't know when you all will realized the best way to teach a tool is by using an example on how to create something with the tool. In this case, it would be extremely helpful to teach BB by using a complete course to be created in BB. It should start with showing a course syllabus to be used including linking it to the course, the course materials which should include materials for all the possible options in BB and both a short test bank and adding questions to the test. Explaining the darn interface is useless because the next day, anyone that tries to remember will remember less than 50% of the blabber used.
