Creating a Sign-up Sheet Using a Wiki

You can use a Wiki in Blackboard to create a sign-up sheet that students can use to sign-up for assignment topics, office hours or to complete a schedule. A Wiki is a page or set of pages that can be viewed and edited by students. When using a wiki to create a sign-up sheet, we recommend that you always create the sign-up sheet on the first page of the Wiki.

To create a wiki for a sign-up sheet complete the following steps.

1. Go to the Course Control Panel menu and click on Wikis under the Course Tools menu.
