BLACKBOARD RESOURCE CENTER
FOR FACULTY
This site is intended to help HU faculty members set up and successfully manage their HU Blackboard classes. (To find help for your students, click here.) Choose from the following options:
Click the title above to learn about the newest features of Howard's Blackboard system. (Be sure to scroll past the video.)
(Note: Some of the features described on the website may require additional site licenses.)
Click here to watch videos that show and tell you how to use Blackboard's tools. We have organized the tutorials so that faculty who complete CETLA's hands-on workshops can easily find the right ones to review. However, if you can't attend a workshop, you may find that the tutorial is all you need. You can also access Blackboard's On Demand Learning Center.
Do you want to print out instructions so that you can consult them while you are working in your Blackboard course site? Then click here to print out the pages you need from the Blackboard 9 manual. If you just want to print a Quick Start Guide for the Grade Center, click here.
Click here to find answers to some of the most frequently asked administrative questions, for instance, what to do if you can't log in, see your courses, or find a student.
Check here to see whether you need
to adjust your computer's settings or to find "workarounds" for software
problems. Please note that
Blackboard 9 does not work
with Internet Explorer 6. It does work with Internet Explorer 7, which you can
get
HERE.
However, Blackboard 9 works best with the latest version of Mozilla's Firefox.
