Blackboard
This is the Web-based course-management system used by students and faculty to participate in classes delivered online or to use online materials and activities in face-to-face classes.
This is where you will find your class syllabi, announcements, course content, discussions, links for online tutoring, and more.
Individual instructors use Blackboard differently. On the first day or two of classes, look through each class' Blackboard to see where your instructors put things. If you can't find something, contact your instructor for information.
