BLACKBOARD
For those students being directed to use Blackboard for the first time, you're not alone! We have created a simple guide to accessing the tool via MyWCC on wccnet.edu. You can also access it directly at https://blackboard.wccnet.edu.
Once inside Blackboard, the “Remote Learning” tab is being populated with information and tutorials for students who are not familiar with our online learning environment. The “Help & How To” tab contains more advanced tutorials.
The ITS Help Desk is available 24/7 to assist with Blackboard-related technical questions. Call 734-973-3456 or email help-desk@wccnet.edu. Bailey Library will be the home base for in-person Blackboard support (see hours of operation under ‘Student Resources’ below).
Tutoring is available to all WCC students. Submit a question 24/7 for future response, or work with a live tutor during their scheduled tutoring session times. To access virtual tutoring, click the "Virtual Tutor" link on the left navigation bar in your class Blackboard site.
