How To Use Blackboard   

SPRING 2013 STUDENTS PLEASE NOTE: Access to Spring 2013 Courses begins on or just before the first scheduled day of each class (for most courses, that is on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 - check the notes for each course you are registered for for specific start dates). If you are new to Blackboard, you will not be able to login and access your course(s) until that time.

Blackboard is an online course management system that is available 24/7 (except during scheduled maintenence). Blackboard enables students to access syllabi, course information, course materials, assignments, tests, exams, surveys as well as communicate via email, messages, chat, and discussion boards. Depending on how the instructor uses Blackboard for each course, students may participate in groups discussions, blogs, journals, wikis, and more.
