Activity area
Find out how to customise your Blackboard activity area to stay up to date.
The activity area is the first page you see when you open Blackboard.
It is a stream of announcements, key dates and your favourited courses. You can also access all your courses from here.
Customisations
Customise the activity stream by selecting the notifications settings cog icon in the top right corner (on desktop).
You can get notification emails sent to Outlook.
Announcements
All announcements appear in the activity stream but disappear when you view them from your module. You can also find module announcements when you open a module and from the module’s announcements tab.
