basics for EfM mentors

1. Customizing your EfM Course
The basics!

2. Click on the + above the
buttons.

3. Select Course Link
and browse to find the link you want
to add. Make sure you click
“Available to
Users!”
Click Submit.

4. Success! You have now added the button called
Blackboard Collaborate!

5. 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.

6. Now! When you clickon 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!
