Carefully review the screen shot below to become familiar with the various icons you may click on while navigating through your Blackboard course.
Submit Responses	TOP
Many Blackboard tools provide a form field in which you may type in responses for submission. Text added to these form fields is treated as plain text unless you check the Use HTML box provided or press the Enable the HTML Creator button to enter your content using the built in HTML editor. Please read the Session Timeout information provided below to learn the preferred way to create and modify content for delivery to an Internet application such as Blackboard. WARNING: Avoid using special characters ( @ # % & ; ) in filenames. Session Timeout WARNING: Blackboard sessions timeout after 30 minutes of inactivity. Web Browsers DO NOT register typing as activity. If you're typing an assignment, assessment, or discussion submission for longer than 30 minutes, the session may timeout when the submit button is pressed. This means that you may lose your work. TIP: To prevent lost work, create your content in a word processor, and then copy & paste the content into Blackboard.
