LEARNING TASK MAP

The following learning task map describes the entry level skills identified as necessary for faculty to utilize Blackboard. Given video tutorials and reading articles, faculty will learn about tools relative to each goal (dark blue at the top). The relationship of each subskill is not delineated by an arrow nor are they numbered, with the exception of Learning Task 1.0 (Develop and Create Navigation Structure). This reflects the colleges adherence to academic freedom of faculty to utilize tools that best suit the instructional unit they have developed at the Entry Level Skill/Task level (indicated by the dotted line).
