Blackboard 8  - Getting Started

How to learn Blackboard?

If you're new to Blackboard and want a course during the Fall '09 semester, we strongly suggest you attend a Blackboard Workshop or meet with an instructional technologist to learn the program.

How to get a course created?

You may request a new course shell in Blackboard at anytime by filling out the form on the Registrar's faculty self service page.  Once your request for course space is completed, we will move your WebCT content, or help you develop a brand new Blackboard course.If you have an existing WebCT or Blackboard course that needs to be migrated to Blackboard, please contact us. Request a course here on the Faculty Self Service page.



Blackboard 9 Pilot

Our current plans are to begin a pilot project of Blackboard 9 (Bb9) for the Spring2010 semester. The Bb 9 pilot is important in order to test the proposed resolution of issues we have been experiencing with version 8, in particular, browser related challenges. However, Bb9 also boasts enhanced user-friendliness and new drag and drop features. Read more here.

Blackboard 9 Documentation

Want a user manual on Bb9? We have compiled all the available documentation and helpsheets here.
