Using This Manual

Ideally, you will be using this manual in front of your computer screen as you log into Blackboard and begin using the many tools described in the upcoming chapters. This manual was written as a step-by-step approach to learning how to use the Blackboard software, though there are certainly other ways to become familiar with it. Clicking on every link and button is a great way to discover many of the features in Blackboard, but for the novice user, it may be best to follow along with this guide and then explore once you are more familiar with the general layout and navigation.
