Blackboard Base Navigation

On the Courses page, you can access all your courses: past, present, and upcoming.

Each course card lists the course ID, course title, and instructor. If your course has multiple instructors, select Multiple Instructors for a list. Select More info to see the description, if added.

Course Page

Filter or search your list. Use the Filter menu to modify your view of the page. Your filtered list stays as you access courses. If you navigate to another page, all courses show again. Use the search function to find courses on the current page.

Browse by term. Move to past, current, and upcoming courses. If you teach a lot of courses, you can choose how many appear on each page. At the bottom of the list, you’ll find a page selector to navigate through long lists.

View your favorites quickly. If you access a course frequently, you can select the star icon to add it to your favorites, so it appears at the top of the list. No more scrolling! You can select the star icon again to remove a course from your favorites.

*You can’t reorder courses in the list. Courses are listed in alphabetical order and grouped by term with the newest courses first. Your favorites appear at the top of the page.

Manage your courses. Instructors can set courses to these states:

  • Open: You can open a course when you’re ready for students to participate.
  • Private: You can make a course private while you add or experiment with content, and then open it to students when you’re ready. Students see private courses in their course lists, but they can’t access them.
  • Hide: You can choose to hide a course from your course list to organize your view. Activity for hidden courses no longer appears in the global pages about all your courses, such as Grades. Only instructors have the option to hide courses. To show a hidden course, filter the list by Hidden from me > open a course’s menu > select Show course. This will not hide the course from students.
