BENEFITS OF Communication Communication tools in online courses keep students motivated and engaged. Students benefit by sharing new opinions. Promote student success. Use a variety of tools to interact asynchronously.

How will you keep students informed? While exploring, try to identify the tools you will use to: Notify students of important dates or reminders. Know when they have completed course milestones. How to get help if they have a questions. Best methods of contact.

Announcements Post timely information critical to course success. Due dates for assignments and projects. Changes to your syllabus. Corrections/clarifications of materials. Exam schedules/reminders. Default module: Announcements are typically one of the first things a student sees when accessing the course.

email Send email messages to other course members’ external email addresses. You can only send email to members of the course. All records of email will exist in your external email account. There must be a subject line to send the message.

Press and drag to another date OR click the event to manage it (if you have permission). Calendar legend. Visible calendars will have a checkmark to the left of the calendar name. To modify the color, click the arrow on the right of the name, Link your Blackboard Learn calendar to an external calendar application.
