Slides for Blackboard training

1. Blackboard in BCT
CAO 13 JUN 18

2. Start with Why!
 Electronic CPR-IIs…avoid scanning
 BCT Form 200 (BCT Record of Performance) …58 initials, needs
automation
 BCT Form 200-1 (Counseling Record)…handwriting, missing critical
details
 Military Training 100 Student Grade Card…vast majority missing
grades/comments, no data aggregate
 Over 15 trackers used in BCT 2017 to record blues issue, CAC issue,
security clearances, intramurals, and other things
 Program needed a way to consolidate data collection without relying
on GroupMe and email taskers sent to the wrong people

3. The Challenge
 Document
 BCT Syllabus completion
 BCT Major Graded Areas
 USAF required training
 USAFA admin
 USAFA briefings
 Validate that each basic cadet has met the
requirements and…
 Provide Trend/Comparison Data
 Allow cadre to focus on content/quality of
documentation
 Stop wasting time with tracking sheets
(Cadre and PP!)
