Blackboard Learn Original is the current online learning management system used for JCC online classrooms. JOLT manages the learning management system and can provide assistance during college business hours, but a 24/7 support center featuring live chat is available to assist with Blackboard problems after-hours, weekends, and holidays.
Blackboard 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. Links to other webpages have a link
icon. All tutorials 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.
