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 &#8216;Current Courses&#8217;, but you can use the drop-down list to select a specific academic year. You can also use the Filter\u00a0to show \u2018Courses I teach\u2019 \u2013 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 \u2018Private\u2019 are unavailable to students. You can quickly make them available from this page.
