Time Management


Description

Blackboard has a few time management features installed to help with course organization. The two main features are its Calendar page and Task page. It is a good idea to check them frequently.

Blackboard enables you to keep track of upcoming and past events through its Calendar feature. The calendar page can be viewed daily, weekly, or monthly and organized into categories. It may list any upcoming events for the class.

The Tasks page organizes projects (referred to as tasks), defines task priority, and tracks task status.
