The welcome screen appears next. The precise appearance and contents of each user's welcome screen vary based on individual settings and course association. It can be customized to your preferences. The tabs at the top of the page allow you to access many of the great features provided to you by the VCCS Blackboard staff. To get to your Blackboard courses, click the LEARN tab at the top of the page or any of the links in the My Blackboard Courses panel.
When your work within Blackboard is completed, it is important to remember to logout, particularly if you are working from a shared computer or in a shared space. To logout, click the Logout link at the top of the page.
After several semesters of classes, students may find the “My Courses” listing becoming very lengthy, making it difficult to locate current courses. It is an easy process to hide a course so it no longer appears in the course list:
Your instructors may place course materials (such as PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, or images) in the Blackboard course website. These items can be placed in many different areas in Blackboard. Some types of computer files, such as images or video, can be viewed inside the Blackboard window. Other types of files, such as Word documents, are stored on the Blackboard server and must be downloaded and opened onto your computer.
We use VW Alert to immediately contact you during a major crisis or emergency.
