Blackboard
Blackboard is an easy-to-use course management and delivery application
that uses a Web-interface to provide a learning/teaching environment
for faculty and students. Its simple point-and-click interface
eliminates the need to know HTML and enables faculty to easily and
quickly:
- Post course content in a variety of formats including text,
PDF and spreadsheet documents, presentation materials,
and even multimedia.
- Connect and collaborate with students via announcements,
email, and discussion forums.
Assess student learning with assessments and assignments.
- Expand learning environments with links to websites and
online library resources such as journals and databases.
Blackboard’s powerful features also include interactive
capabilities like email, discussion forums, chat rooms,
and group pages.
Logging In
- To access the Blackboard log in page from the Trinity
home page click on Quick
Links, then on Blackboard.
- To access the Blackboard log in page from Tiger’s
Lair, click on Blackboard under
Guest Quicklinks.
- If you have logged into Tiger’s Lair, you can access
your Blackboard courses by clicking on the My
Courses/My Briefcase
 tab.
Then click on the image to go to the Blackboard log-in page.
- You can also access Blackboard’s log-in page directly at
http://bb.trinity.edu/. Click on the Login button, and enter your
user name and password.
Changing Passwords
We recommend that you change your Blackboard password (especially if
you are a first time user) to be consistent with the password
you use to access other Trinity resources like email, TigerPAWS,
and network resources. Also note that the single sign-on feature
does not apply to Blackboard. Therefore, it is even more critical
that you change your Blackboard password at the same time that
you change your password for othr Trinity resources.
To change your password, log in to Blackboard as described
in the section above.
- On the My Blackboard page, click on Personal
Information under
the Tools menu.
- Select Change Password to set a new password.
- Enter your new password twice and click on the Submit button.
