Quick Edit in Blackboard

(New feature available since Spring 2005)

For Instructors / Course Builders Only

Tired of always popping back and forth between the control panel and the student view of content?  You can now use Blackboard's "Quick Edit" view to immediately switch between the data entry and student views.  Here's what it looks like.

NoteL  The Edit View / Display View links are only available to instructors and other course builders.  The links do NOT appear for students.

In Blackboard's Content Areas (for example, Syllabus, Course Documents, Assignments, Staff Information, etc.) you will now see a new link in the upper right hand corner of the page.

Clicking on the Edit View link will quickly change you to the Edit View so you can add or modify content without having to make a trip to the control panel. 

Clicking the Display View link will return you to normal student view.

We hope this feature saves you some time, and makes content entry less of a chore.  Another feature that can simplify data entry is the Document Unpackager.
