Many faculty and staff supplement traditional courses with course web pages. A listing of course web pages is available on the Course Search page. To add a course to this directory, please visit the Course Web Page Registration Center.

Course web pages may contain information pertinent to that course, such as prerequisites, credit hours, and syllabi. Course web pages may not be used for items of personal interest not related to the instructor’s role at the university.

Each instructor is responsible for all aspects of his/her course web site, including the accessibilty, timeliness and accuracy of the information it contains. See the Web Policy for details.

There are two types of course web sites:

Missouri State Blackboard

The University recommends instructors use Blackboard, the University's course management system, for their course web pages. Blackboard offers many built-in features, including discussion forums and gradebook capabilities. It also has an option to allow only your students to access the course content.

Training and Support

For Blackboard training, instructors may attend a Faculty Development Course. Instructors may also call (417) 836-6111 or (417) 836-4518 or email blackboard@missouristate.edu for support.
