About Online Learning and Blackboard
What is Blackboard?
Blackboard is the learning management
system that CSUMB uses to build and manage virtual classrooms.
When you register at CSUMB you are automatically given a Blackboard
account. Unless otherwise noted in the registration instructions,
you should login
to your Blackboard account no later than three working days
prior to class. If you have any problem logging in, please see
the Blackboard
Login Help page.
Your Blackboard Home Page
The first page you will come to in Blackboard
is your Blackboard home page. It will list all of the courses you
are taking.* Select the course of interest from the Courses: Quick
View list on the right-hand side of your screen to obtain the course
syllabus, assignments, and other important information. You've
now made it to your course Web site! Be sure to click on each of
the navigation buttons located on the left-hand side of your screen
and take note of the resources that are available to you. Pay special
attention to the Course Information page and the Assignments page
to ensure that you do not miss any requirements. Please be aware
that many courses will require the student to attend some face-to-face
meetings.
*Some courses may not have a Blackboard component .
