Training & Support for Online Classes

If you’re reasonably comfortable online, you should have no trouble with Blackboard. It’s the class management system that you’ll use to watch video lectures, submit assignments, take tests, and more.

After you register for your class, it’s a good idea to test your Blackboard access. To do so, go to the Blackboard log in page. You’ll see directions about how to log in.

While you’re logged into Blackboard, you may want to click on the My Courses panel and select the Online Prep Site. It helps you ensure that you’re ready when the semester begins.

Lots of information about using Blackboard is available online:
