Add Banner

A course banner is an image, often containing the name and/or title of the paper, that appears above the "Announcements" area when a student enters a Blackboard course.

You will first have to create a jpg or gif image in a graphics application, ensuring that it has a ".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".gif" file extension. The image should not be very big because it will take a lot of space in " Announcements." The best image size is no bigger than 550 pixels by 100 pixels.

From the Control Panel:

  1. Go to Settings located under Course Options.
  2. Click on Course Banner
  3. Click on "Browse."
  4. In the pop-up window, locate the file (a gif or jpg) on your computer and double-click on it to select.
  5. Click on Submit.

To Remove a Banner

  1. Go to Settings located under Course Options.
  2. Click on Course Design.
  3. Click on Course Banner.
  4. Click on the check-box beside "Remove this banner"
  5. Click Submit.
