How Do You Be A Successful Online Student Using Blackboard?
• Log on and familiarize yourself with Blackboard prior to the first week of classes. • Utilize any online guides your school may offer as to how to navigate Blackboard. • Familiarize yourself with the icons on the myBlackboard homepage. Depending on your school’s set up the icons may represent updates to a discussion board, or grades, or they may indicate that you have a quiz, homework, or dropbox assignments due soon. • Be aware of all due dates for homework, quizzes, dropbox assignments etc. It is also important to try and submit these assignments prior to their due date in case you have a technical problem. • Know in advance who you will have to contact if you have any technical problems while working with Blackboard. • Save each answer as you complete it when taking online quizzes. This way your answers will be retained even if you have technical problems. Also remember to click submit when you are finished with your quiz so that it can be graded. • Make a schedule. Have a planner
