How to add a Course Banner to your Blackboard Course
A Course Banner can be used to personalise the design of your Blackboard course. You can create your own or use a free web based Banner created such as those which can be found on Google.
Control Panel
1. From your course Control Panel expand the Customisation section and choose Style.
Course Design Menu
2. Scroll down to Section 5 “Select Banner” and click on Browse My Computer and select your Course Banner file in JPG or GIF format.
Note: the size of your Banner should not be too large otherwise it will spoil the look of your page. 600 pixels across by 150 pixels high should suffice. You could have a wider image, it depends on what kind of size screens you think your students will be using.
3. Click on Submit.
Upload Course Banner
4. Your course banner will appear above the Announcements page.
