WELCOME TO BLACKBOARD!
This PowerPoint presentation will walk you through the basics of the Blackboard system. You may print out the presentation for reference
as you go through the various Blackboard components.
Click on the Blackboard icon
Log into the system following the instructions given below the
Log In box.
Notice the menu to the left with Assignments,
Discussions, Mail, etc.
Notice the My Grades
tab.
Use the scroll bar to scroll down so you can see
everything listed on the Course Content page.
Click on the assignments tab. The list of open
assignments appear. Click on the BLUE of the
assignment you wish to open.
Read the assignment. Then scroll down and
either type into the submission box or
attach a file.
Type assignment directly into this box or attach below using Add Attachments.
After clicking Add Attachments, this screen appears. You must click on My
Computer. This will bring up My Documents (which will be your
personal files). Find the file you wish to attach. Open the file and attach.
Be sure to click on Submit after you have finished with the assignment by either typing into the submission box or by attaching.
If you spend too much time typing into the assignment box, you may get timed out of the system. In that case, when you click on submit it will go back to the sign-in screen because you have spent too much time and you will lose your work. If you think you have timed out, copy what you have typed in BEFORE you submit. Then you can just paste after you log back on.
ALWAYS complete your assignments off-line and then copy/paste into the submission box or attach to prevent time out!
