To log into Blackboard, first visit learn.bu.edu and log in with your BU Kerberos username and password. Once logged in, you will see a screen with all of the current courses for which you have access. To access a course, click anywhere on the course card.
Within a course, you will find course content listed on the right side of the screen. This section typically includes course information, syllabi, slide decks, and assignments for the course. Instructor actions, such as viewing the course roster, tracking attendance, and making announcements can be accessed on the left side of the screen.
To add content to a course, hover over any area underneath the course content section and click on the purple “plus” icon that appears. This will give you options to create a document, copy from another course site, or upload documents directly from your computer.
