How to add a Blog to your Blackboard course

Blogs are journal-like web spaces that students can post material to. As the instructor, you can decide who in your class is allowed to post content to a blog, and who is allowed to read the blog. You can use a Blog to have students post a journal, upload files, upload homework, text, pictures, or even sound files.

Here is how to add a Blog to your course site in Blackboard:


Step 1 - Choose or create a content area

In Control Panel, choose a content area in which you would like the Blog to appear (you could choose 'Course Material' for example). If you want to create a brand-new section to hold your blog, use Control Panel > Manage Course Menu > Add +Content Area



We recommend using the name 'Blog' or 'Journal', but you can call the section anything you want.


Step 2 - Add the Blog

In Control Panel, click into the content area of your choosing. To add the Blog, choose 'Blog' from the drop-down menu at the upper right, then click Go.





Step 3 - Choose your options

Give the Blog a name at the top, such as 'Journal', 'Blog', or 'Homework'.

Choose a Blog type:

  • Group Blog - all blog members and the instructor can view each other's entries in the blog

or

  • Private Journal - blog members can only view their own entries. Instructors can view everyone's entries.

Next, scroll down the 'Member Settings' and use the arrow to select who has access to post to the Blog:



Choose who has the right to read the Blog and who has the right to post comments on Blog entries. If you want students to be able to read each other's Blog posts, set the option here:



If you wish to grade students on their Blog, add a column to the gradebook here:



Click OK at the bottom, then OK again to finish.


Step 4 - How students can post to the Blog

The blog will appear in your course under the section you chose in step 1. To post to the Blog, you or your students can click the View link:



then click 'new entry' on the right to post.




That's all there is to it. Your Blog is now ready to use.
