Help us create a more inclusive learning environment at UIC Nursing by adding a phonetic spelling and audio recording to your profile in Blackboard.
In Blackboard, the name pronunciation feature allows you to add a phonetic spelling and short audio recording of how to pronounce your name. If your classmate or faculty member has added pronunciation to their profile, you will be able to view it in your courses on the roster, discussions, messages, and groups.
To add either phonetic spelling or a short audio recording for the pronunciation of your name:
- Click the Add pronunciation link on your profile
- In the Pronunciation field, type in a phonetic spelling of your name
- Click the Record name pronunciation link to record yourself pronouncing your name
- You may need to click Allow to provide permission for the browser to use your microphone
- Wait for the 3..2..1.. countdown to begin recording
- Click the Stop button to the right when you are done recording
- Click Play name pronunciation to review your record and click the X to remove the current recording and start a new one
- Click the Done button when you have finished
