Hi Nicole,
As a central support department our policy is that training students in the
use of Blackboard is the responsibility of the academic schools. The reason
for this is, in part, because we don't have the resources to train all
students and also because much of the training is about the specific use of
Blackboard by the course teams rather than the mechanics of using the
software itself.
We also provide a searchable online help system and FAQ and have begun
exploring screen recording software such as Camtasia as a means of providing
quick and clear explanations of how to perform key tasks.
Best wishes,
Stan

Subject: Training in your institution?
Dear All,
The following question is not exclusove to Blackboard, but I am hoping
that with the expertise on this list you won't mind sharing
information.
We are wondering how other institutions manage to train students on
VLEs, online PDP tools and other technologies which are part of a
programme. What form does this type of training take, and who is
responsible for delivering it?
With many thanks in advance and best wishes
Nicole
