Course Templates

About the STCC Template

A template serves as a guide for navigation and content placements. Students need to focus their time on the content, not how to get to the content. A standard template across courses will help students more easily orient themselves to all their courses in Blackboard. When the basic navigation is standardized, students spend less time searching and more time interacting with your course, classmates, you, and your teaching and learning materials.

For both faculty and students, creating a familiar navigation and design promotes consistency across classes and a level of comfort using the system. 

The CODL made improvements to the STCC course template that streamline how students find resources, and provide easy access to tools such as Messages and Calendar. Follow step by step instructions in the video to align your course menu with suggested updates.
