The "My UF Online" Page

The "My UF Online" page has five major areas:

• Help & Logout: The "Help" button opens a new window to the "Frequently Asked Questions" list and other valuable information on the Blackboard Support site. All users must click the Logout button to end their Blackboard session before closing the browser window.
• Tabs: The tabs at the top of the screen allow you to navigate back to "My UF Online," "Courses," "Community," "Content System," "Services," "Academic Web Resources," "UF Libraries" or "Atomic Learning."
• Tools: The "Tools" box, at the upper left side of the page, contains links to several tools, which are outlined later in this chapter.
• Modules: The various boxes that appear in the main part of the window are called modules, and they are labeled according to their function. The "My Courses" module is the main entrance to a user's course list. In addition, system information is presented in the "My Announcements" module.
• Contents & Layout: The "Contents" and "Layout" buttons allow users to customize the order and types of modules that appear on the "My UF Online" page. There are many useful/fun modules that can be added to this page, including sports scores, stock tickers, or even your daily horoscope!
