Blackboard Support Tab Added to myMiami to Assist Faculty with Blackboard Use

• Designing and Using a Blackboard Course Site points to resources, guides, and tips for planning, personalizing, and enhancing student learning in your course site(s).
  
  
• More Blackboard Support links you to support resources including the Blackboard Learning System support site and how to self-enroll in it; the Advanced Learning Technologies (ALT) Blackboard website; and IT Help, where you can search solutions to your Blackboard problems.
  
  
• Blackboard Training provides contact information for individual and group training.
  
  
• Current Blackboard Issues allows you to stay abreast of current issues with the Blackboard Learning System and issue status as they are resolved.
