Navigating Blackboard

Overview Below is a basic overview of the Blackboard course layout.

Blackboard Navigation	TOP
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. (The HTML Creator in Blackboard is currently unavailable for student use.) Please read the Session Timeout information 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 or discussion submission for longer than 30 minutes, the session will timeout when the submit button is pressed. This means that you will lose your work. TIP: To prevent lost work, create your content in a word processor, and then copy & paste the content into Blackboard.
