NAVIGATE MY BLACKBOARD COURSE
This is a typical Blackboard course arrangement, keeping in mind that some professors will choose other methods.
1. Content (the course home page) shows the instructor's information, details and actions you can take, as well as the course's content (documents, assignments, the syllabus, etc.)
2. Calendar may show upcoming assignments, due dates, etc.
3. Announcements show any important upcoming information
4. Discussions is where you can contribute to the Discussion Board
5. Gradebook will show your posted grades or overall progress, as well as upcoming assignments, submitted assignments, and feedback from your professor
Take some time to learn how each course is designed or ask your professor for help.
