Educational Technology and Blackboard is offering two Blackboard 8 Grade Center training sessions. The first session is from 10 a.m.-noon and the second from 12:30-2:30 p.m., both on Tuesday, Aug. 19, in Room 105 of the University Center (technology classroom).
Grade Center is a new and improved version of the previous Blackboard grade book. It supports an interface similar to a spreadsheet, directed email to students and the ability for instructors to generate progress reports. Other features include Smart Views, grading schemas, grade histories, and hide/freeze columns. See a short video clip about Blackboard 8 Grade Center on YouTube.
