Overview
Building a course site through Illinois Compass (powered by Blackboard Learn) can provide the following benefits for you and your student learners:
- offer basic course materials such as the Syllabus, schedule, readings, lecture notes, and media content
- allow students to access assignment instructions and upload those files to you digitally
- connect to your publisher-supplied resources/assessments
- provide you the means of suppling grades and feedback to learners online
- expand the communication channels available to you and your students
Did you know?
- Not even counting our Flipped, Blended, and Online offerings, the eLearning Office collaborates with about 30+ faculty each Fall and Spring semester to establish their course site.
- Course sites can be created as copies of a previous instructor’s course site (with permission), a blank site, or — our most popular option — as a copy of our professionally-created specific course site template.
- Your Illinois Compass course site can integrate with online resources and assessments from publishers such as Cengage, McGraw-Hill, and Pearson.
