How Do I Get Started in Blackboard?
You may wish to print these instructions to have as a reference.
| Step 1: | Go to http://clackamas.blackboard.com in your web browser. This will take you to the login page for Blackboard. | |
| Step 2: |
If you already have a Blackboard account, click on the "Login" button, provide your username and password, and skip to STEP 5. If you do not have a Blackboard account, click on the "Create Account" button. |
|
| Step 3: | Fill in the information requested and click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page. Note: You must provide an accurate email address when you create your Blackboard account. | |
| Step 4: | Click "OK" on the next screen. | |
| Step 5: | Click on the green "Courses" tab near the top of the screen. | |
| Step 6: |
On the right side of the screen (under "Course Catalog"), click on the appropriate category for your course (usually it will be the current term, followed by subcategories representing subject areas). ------- OR ------- Search for your course by title or number in the "Course Search" box on the left of the screen. |
|
| Step 7: | After you’ve browsed categories or conducted a search, a list of courses will appear. Locate the name of your course in this list, and click on the gray "Enroll" button to the right of the course's name. | |
| Step 8: |
Click on the "Submit" button at the bottom of the next page. This will send an enrollment request to your instructor by email. Please note: Blackboard will give you a message telling you that your login request has FAILED. This is not accurate, however, and you should not be concerned; your enrollment request is proceeding as you intended. |
|
| Step 9: |
You will receive an email message indicating that your instructor has enrolled you in the course. Once you receive this email, login to Blackboard (http://clackamas.blackboard.com) again; a link to your course will be provided under "Courses in which you are participating." A direct link to your course will also be provided for you in the email from your instructor. If you do not receive an email within a few days (giving your instructor time to respond to your email request), check back in Blackboard to see if you've been enrolled. |
