3 Tips to Help You Prepare for the New Semester
Tip 1. Learn Your Student’s Names
Using your students' ID photos is an excellent way to learn their names. 您可以通过GVSU教职员工附加横幅应用程序中的“班级列表”工具轻松访问这些照片(校外访问需要VPN连接)。.
注意:教师只能在他们是班纳的记录讲师的课程中看到照片. Assistance with using this tool can be found in this Knowledge Base article found in our Service Portal.
Tip 2. Check your Bb Readiness
The New Semester Checklist 是一个回顾Blackboard中一些基本和重要功能的好地方. Bb makes it easy to share your syllabus or a lecture, efficiently collect and manage assignments, and securely share grades and feedback. A PDF version of our checklist 也可以帮助教师确保一个成功的学期开始.
Tip 3. Get your students oriented
All students and faculty have been enrolled in a Blackboard "orientation" site 旨在帮助学生准备和确定他们对在线学习的准备. 定向为在线学习的成功提供建议和技巧，并使学生熟悉他们的课程将使用的许多Blackboard Ultra功能. When you create your welcome announcement, 提醒你的学生复习入学指导网站是个不错的主意，这样他们就能为一个成功的学期做好准备.

Students share the value of online and hybrid learning at GVSU
“就我个人而言，我选择了在线课程，因为我的日常安排中有时间. 我申请了研究生，发现我缺了一门课，在找了一门课之后，我觉得这门课最适合我的生活和兴趣. 我很高兴看到它提供了在线选择，因为我已经每周上两天课，另外两天实习了，除了为人父母和养父母，我的生活仍然很忙.”
