We know how important it is for us to be the ones who determine how we would like to be recognized and addressed by name. We invite you to use the name pronunciation features in Blackboard to share your preferences with your instructors and classmates. Pronunciations and preferred names help us to acknowledge and demonstrate respect for each other within the Spartan Family. Helping your students to customize their Blackboard presence can help them feel more at home in all their classroom learning spaces.
Find instructions for using these new Blackboard features below:
- How to share a recording or pronunciation guide to your name.
- How do I list my preferred name in my student record and Blackboard profile?
- Check out more Blackboard Student Resources to find answers to other common Blackboard questions.
Instructors will see pronunciations and preferred names in the roster, discussions, gradebook, messages, and wherever you can find names throughout your course.
