Customizing your EfM Course

The basics!

Click on the + above the buttons.

Select Course Link and browse to find the link you want to add. Make sure you click

“Available to Users!”

Click Submit.

Success! You have now added the button called

Blackboard Collaborate!

If you float your mouse over the button, a small vertical

arrow will show up. Use that arrow to drag your button to the place you want it to appear.

Now! When you click on the Blackboard Collaborate button, you go directly to the Join Room screen! Try it yourself.

You can use a similar process to make the course look and act the way you like.

Idea: Use the + to add Content – like the Resource button we added.

Idea: Use the + to add a Tool Link to a Wiki or to a Calendar or to the Send E-mail tool.

While you’re at it, you can use Customization>Teaching Style (down in the Course Management Control Panel) to change the color and style of the buttons (liturgical colors, anyone?) I decorated the room for Pentecost, but you can change the colors if you like!
