Using Black Board, the On Line Classroom

Log onto Black Board: Notes on Using Black Board

1. How to log onto or create your account on Black Board:

Your login and password will be your URSA login and password--NOTE: this password will expire every 90 days, so you will have to create a new password. For technology help, call the help line: 351-help or 351- 4357.

Keep these suggestions in mind as you take the quizzes:

Use a high speed internet connection to assure a good connection. AOL users will be disconnected after 30 minutes on AOL. You will not be disconnected from Black Board, so you will continue to work, but the work you have done after the 30 minutes will not be saved. Use one of the many computer labs on campus.

At the end of each exam, be sure to click the "Submit" button to save your work. You may have to scroll down if the button located in the lower right hand corner of the screen does not show.

Do not use the "back" button in Black Board. Doing so will disconnect you from the database and your responses will be lost. The tests will be set to open once.

Decide when you will take the test, commit to take the test in one sitting because test parameters will be set so that students can open test only once. In other words: No Peeking.

Read each question carefully.
