Introduction
Welcome to the GIBS Blackboard Instructors Support Area
The GIBS TEL (Technology Enabled Learning) team have created a number of helpful resources to enable faculty members, program managers and coordinators to get up to speed with accessing and using the online learning and the Blackboard virtual learning environment (Aspire) as quickly as possible.
Please take some time to browse through all of the help topics provided below and direct other users to this site if they need assistance in a particular area.
The TEL team has tried where possible to cover all of the basic aspects of Aspire navigation and usage. 'Help' content and 'How to' guides are being added on an ongoing basis so please monitor these pages. Should you experience any form of technical issues with Blackboard (or cannot find help on a particular topic) please send an email request to lms-support@gibs.co.za for assistance.
We would like to encourage you as the managers and developers of learning programs to be as creative as possible in your use of the system to ensure high levels of engagement, achievement and retention of learners on your courses.
The TEL team is also available to support you directly during work hours.
