How to Create a Course Contact

When you are building your course, you will want to provide your contact information somewhere so students know how to reach you.

Step-by-Step Guide

How to Create a Course Contact

  1. In the Blackboard Control Panel, click Course Tools, and then Contacts.
    Select Contents from the Course Tools menu.
     
  2. On the Contacts page, click Create Contact.
    Select Create Contact from the navigation menu.
     
  3. On the Create Contact page, type the profile information for the contact. Remember that items marked with an asterisk are required.
    Fill in the contact's profile information.
     
  4. Under the Options section, select Yes to make the profile available.
  5. To attach an image, click the Browse button, and locate the file you want to upload.
    Please Note:  Images need to be 150x150 pixels or they will appear distorted.
  6. When you are finished, click Submit.
Please Note:  In order for students to see the contacts you create, you will need to give them access to the Contacts tool. The easiest way to do this is to create a Contacts Tool Link on the Course Menu.
