  1. Adding HTML to Blackboard http://www3.ltu.edu/~s_schneider/howto.htm

  2. Adding HTML to Blackboard • What is HTML? • What are “tags”? • Why add tags? • What kind of tags? • Center/ Bold/italics • Bullet lists • External links • How to add tags?

  3. What is HTML? • HTML = the “code” for the Internet • Browsers read this “code” and display things on your screen in certain ways (bold, centered, put and image up, etc.) • Blackboard responds to HTML code (since it is essentially a “web page” that we are seeing) • Thus, we can add HTML to our Blackboard sites to “spiff them up” a little

  4. What are “Tags”? • HTML has “tags” to enclose some text .. The tags are interpreted by the browser • Format is <tag>write something</tag> • Start and stop the tags (add the / to the end tag) • Simple examples : • <B>Bold </B> • <I>Italics</I> • <B><I>Bold and Italics both</I></B> “nested tags”

  5. Why use “tags”? • To bold/center/italics/larger fonts • To create bulleted lists (or numbered lists) • To add a web link inside a paragraph • Could also add to “links” page …

  6. What kind of tags? • Paragraph codes <P align=“center”>Centered line</P> <P align=“right”>Right aligned</P> • “Headers” – easy way to get big titles <H1>BIG TITLE</H1> <H2 align=“center”>Not as big, and centered</H2>

  7. .. More tags? • Bulleted list would be coded like this : <UL><LI>First line</LI> <LI>Second line</LI></UL> And would look like this : • First line • Second line • Ordered list would be coded like this : <OL><LI>First line</LI> <LI>Second line</LI></OL> And would look like this : • First line • Second line

  8. .. Still More tags? • External links : <A HREF="http://www.ltu.edu/">LTU Web Page</A> Notice the text “LTU Web Page” is what will be displayed as the link .. It would look like this : LTU Web Page

  9. How to add them to Blackboard? • Use external “editor” (word or notepad) • Have “template” of the tags (until you are used the format) • Add your text to the sample tag • Copy and paste from word processor to Blackboard • Check the “display” in the browser Word “Tag” Template
