We are the Program for Online Teaching, a group of volunteer faculty helping other faculty teach better online.

Our focus is on pedagogy as the guiding force for using technologies for teaching.

Many of us are from MiraCosta College in Oceanside, California. MiraCostans may access the Teaching/Technology Innovations Center for technical help, resources, news and more.

Designing Your Menu in Blackboard

by Laura Paciorek (June 2011)

This video demonstrates for the viewer how to make the items in the left menu appear in larger text, in bold, and in italics. This technique may be used to bring students’ attention to different items in the left menu. This might be helpful for instructors who want to insure the left menu items are prioritized and organized in ways that help the student understand their importance and/or purpose. Instructors may also simply enjoy making the menu look a little different, adding to the visual interest of the course design.
