Online Student Class Tutorial

This tutorial is presented in order of use; start with the top links to register for a Distance Learning class, and proceed down the table from there, skipping those features which your instructor doesn't use.

Please contact your instructor for any questions regarding the use of Blackboard features in your class.

Each link contains a Flash demo and text-only tutorial. Watch the demo first to see each feature. The text column contains the steps inside the demo for your printing convenience. If you need additional help, see the technical support page.
