Check Grade is where you can check on your grades as you progress through the course, if the professor uses this feature. When you have a question about a feature in Blackboard, your first step should be to access the Online Blackboard Manual . From here you can explore the various features of Blackboard more fully. Tasks is an area where you and your professors can list and track the progress of your various projects. Electric Blackboard allows students to save notes for a particular course within the Blackboard environment.
Students can also keep an online Address Book within Blackboard.
See the Online Blackboard Manual for more information on these last two features. If a feature is disabled then it will not appear as an option for you in that Blackboard course. By disabling areas not used in the course, the professor reduces confusion and clutter, thereby making Blackboard simpler for student use. The Discussion Board is used in many of our courses to provide students with the opportunity to discuss subjects related to the course. Usually, the professor will provide general or specific topics for the students to discuss.
