You have a number of options for customising how you view and access courses from the Courses area on the Blackboard navigation menu.

Changing the view

You can view courses as a list or as tiles.

Use the icons to the left of the Search bar to switch between views.

Courses page – list view

Courses page displayed as tiles

• If your course doesn’t have a banner, Blackboard will automatically assign an image for your course in this view.
• If your course does have a banner, it may not display correctly here. The recommended size for banners is 1200 x 300 pixels, with a maximum height of 400 pixels.

Finding your courses

• Because we retain Blackboard courses for several years, all the courses which you still have access to will be listed under ‘Current Courses’, but you can use the drop-down list to select a specific academic year.
• You can also use the Filter to show ‘Courses I teach’ – this equates to the courses where you are an instructor.
• A particularly useful feature is the ability to search for courses.
• Courses which you want to access most often can be added to your Favourites, so that they always appear at the top of the list.
• Please note: Hiding a course simply hides it from your list, not from other users enrolled on the course.

Private / unavailable courses

• Any courses shown here as ‘Private’ are unavailable to students. You can quickly make them available from this page.
