Think of a learning module as a container for an organized collection of content. Learning Modules let students navigate from one content item to the next with out the added distractions and extra clicks. Modules promote a more immersive learning experience for students. You can create a module for each week, chapter, unit, or any other grouping to enhance learning.
Instructors and students can send messages to each other, multiple people, or an entire class. The message feature remains inside Blackboard, so there is no need to worry if an email address is incorrect. You can also send a copy of a message to the recipients’ email, so they get an extra notification. When composing a message, you have full access to the text/content editor box. You can change the font, font size, and color or add bold or italics to enhance your message. You are also able to insert links, file and image attachments, and videos.

Motivating Students by Design (2018) explains how instructors can motivate students intentionally through the design of their courses. The two primary purposes of this book are to present a motivation model that can be used to design instruction and to provide practical motivation strategies and examples that can be used to motivate students to engage in learning. Based on decades of research, Dr. Brett Jones presents a framework to organize teaching strategies that motivate students. All of the strategies presented are followed by several examples, which provide readers with about 150 ideas for how the strategies can be implemented in courses. This book will be useful to graduate students and beginning professors, as well as professors who are more experienced and want to refine their instruction or try new strategies.
