Explicit Instruction
The handout was created for a program needing to maintain its courses from term to term in the Blackboard system. The instructors’ abilities in Blackboard range from low to advanced users. The table of contents is a to-do list for users who are confident in their use of software, but want a punch-list or steps to direct their attention. Less confident users are guided to individual pages where instructions are detailed using narrative, pictures, and directional arrows.
