These tutorials assume that you are familiar with a Macintosh or a PC, and know how to use an Internet browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. If you feel you may need more instruction in this area, go to the UT Austin Computing Classes site.

These tutorials also expect you to be able to log in to Blackboard and navigate to the course to which you wish to add content. If you are not familiar with these procedures, please attend one of our workshops. You'll find a schedule in the sessions section of the UT Blackboard support site.

If you have other questions about Blackboard, please visit our Blackboard FAQ section.

Each tutorial will consist of a brief introductory section followed by a series of steps. A small graphic of the area being explained will be displayed to the right. This graphic can be selected to display at a larger size.
