Faculty: Blackboard Journal LX and Teams LX classes start this month

Here is a class that can add an online component to your classes this fall. Also, be sure to see Monday’s Bulletin article on Blackboard Design and Content Basics and Introduction to RefWorks classes.

Journal LX and Teams LX

Journal and Teams LX are a set of Blackboard tools that foster active learning, facilitate collaboration, and increase opportunities for student-instructor interaction and communication.

Journal LX facilitates the development of online journals where students, as well as the instructor, can create and upload documents, include images and add links to other Web sites. Teams LX enables students to work collaboratively in groups to jointly create, edit and comment on shared documents and Web sites. Participants will learn how to create journals and team sites and about best practices in their use.
