How can I add a banner to my course startup page?

A “banner” is a graphic logo you can set for a course that will appear above the Announcements page of a course. It can be used to give a visual entrance point to your course.

1. You need to create a graphic file of type .gif or .jpg, and then upload it to the course via Control Panel > Settings > Course Design > Course Banner.
2. The suggested size is 400 pixels wide by 50 pixels high, but it can be larger or smaller. See the Blackboard 101 course for an example of a banner.

Here is a sample suggested size banner image:
