Change Course View from List to Grid
Instructors can choose how to view courses in list view or grid view.
Select the option that appears as 4 boxes to switch to grid view.
To change the image, hover over the course and select the 3 dots that appears. Select Edit course image. Image must be at least 1200 x 240 pixels, Images with text don't scale well.
The image will display as the course card thumbnail on the Courses page. Students will also see the same image.
Hide a Course
Hiding a course removes it from your view in Blackboard. This is useful when you have a merged course site and want to hide the multiple child course sites.
Hover over the course and select the 3 dots that appear and select Hide course. Instructors will not see that course in the course list.
To find the hidden course, select the All Courses drop down to Hidden from me.
Hover over the course and select the 3 dots that appear and select Show course to unhide the course.
To go back to your course list, go to the filter drop down and select All courses.
Hiding a course only hides it from your view in Blackboard. It is not the same as closing the course to prevent student access.
Courses Marked as Private
Courses will show a lock and indicate private when the course availability has not started or has ended. Upcoming Courses are marked as private until the first day of class. Previous courses are marked as private 2 weeks after the course has ended. To have a course opened or marked as private, please contact UToledo Online Help Desk.
