I used Blackboard LMS since I currently use it in my classes & thought the extra practice would be great training. I’ve never set-up my own class before so the experience was useful. After downloading and unzipping the content provided, a free trial was requested for Blackboard followed by setting up an account. From there various tutorials were available on the site to help with set-up and show the settings of the course . It was surprisingly easy with drag and drop features and text areas to complete.
