Modifying SMU Tabs in Blackboard

Did you know that you can personalize or modify Blackboard tabs and layout?

You can change the look and feel of the main page, by clicking on Modify Layout under My SMU.
Here you can change the color and customize the layout.
Also, with Modify Content, you can add or delete modules. Just click in the box to select or unselect what you want to show on your Blackboard.
The modules that are checked in RED, are system defaults, those cannot be changed.
Chad has created several tutorials that demonstrate what you can do or change in Blackboard.

To see the recordings, go to www2.smumn.edu/helpdesk
Click on Training, then from the Web Tutorials, click Blackboard, from Blackboard Tutorials, click Blackboard again.
Here you will find a list of tutorials:
