This is a hands on workshop where participants will learn the key skills necessary to begin using the KLE (Blackboard 9.1).

During the session participants will be introduced to the screen interface and the tools and methods for adding content and providing simple communication with students. There will be an exploration of how to customise views, edit headers and add materials.
