If you want to cite an article, book chapter, website, or video that your professor provides links to in your Blackboard course, just use the usual format on how to cite that type of resource using the source’s original publication information. However, if you want to cite your professor's PowerPoint or video lecture that they uploaded, or something that someone from your study group posted, you'll need to cite these items a little bit differently.
CMoS 17 does not provide explicit instructions on how to cite resources on a course site such as Blackboard. If you are citing your professor's video lecture or lecture slides/notes, use this format as a guide.
