Blackboard Video Tutorials
Brand new to Blackboard, or just need to brush up? Below are videos and links to web pages that include all you need to know!
This is the same content you will find at Blackboard's Faculty Quickstart website, but organized on a single page, by category, to make searching easier. All
tutorials refer to Blackboard Learn version 9.1 but, because the product is very customizable,
your system may look somewhat different from the examples. Video tutorials have a
video camera icon. Printable tutorials have a PDF
icon. All videos open in a new window.
Depending on the speed of your internet connection, videos may take a few seconds to load. Most videos are under three minutes in length. PDFs require the free Adobe Reader.
