Most popular FAQs:

• What is Blackboard?

  Blackboard is a web-based course content management system that allows faculty to deliver instruction online.  Blackboard is now being used at thousands of institutions in more than 140 countries.  Emory's Blackboard site can be found at https://classes.emory.edu.

• Do I have to enroll my own students?

  No, the Blackboard administrators will automatically batch enroll your students upon request. Blackboard gets a PeopleSoft feed five times daily. Please complete the online request form accessible from the Blackboard login page.

  
  
  

• Does Blackboard replace LearnLink?

  No. Although both Blackboard and LearnLink are used for extending the learning experience online, they are complementary tools. There is a Blackboard conference on your LearnLink desktop. You can also access LearnLink via the Tools area on the My Emory (main) tab within Blackboard.
  
  
  

• Where can I find Blackboard resources or view frequently asked questions?

  Helpful resources are accessible before you log in to  Blackboard or after you log in under the Help tab: http://classes.emory.edu

  
  
  

• My email address is incorrect. How do I change it?

  Emory University users: Blackboard is tied into the other UTS resources. You must change your email address via PEACH (Preferred Email Address Change Handler):
  https://www.app.emory.edu/peach/

  Guests (non-Emory): To change your preferred email address, send an email to the Blackboard administrators: classes@emory.edu
  
  
  

Other FAQs:

• Where can I learn more about the Chat utility?

  Blackboard has a complete section on Chat in the Student Manual. Access a PDF version of the manual via the Getting Started guide.
  
  

• I don't receive any email that my professor sends from within Blackboard

  If you are a LearnLink user, then the problem is related to 'junk mail acceptance'. Because Blackboard sends mail to users without disclosing their email addresses, LearnLink considers the mail to be 'junk mail'. Within LearnLink, set your options to accept junk mail via Edit, Preferences, Messages.

  If you are not a LearnLink user, please send an email to classes@emory.edu. State the email system you are using, along with your platform (PC or Mac).
  
  
  

• Is the Blackboard Communications area integrated with LearnLink?

  At this time, LearnLink and Blackboard are not fully integrated. If your instructor is using LearnLink, you will still have to "login" to both systems. We have tried to make navigating between the two systems as seamless as possible. There is a Blackboard conference on your LearnLink desktop. You can also access LearnLink via the Help & Services tab within Blackboard.
  
  
  

• What is my Blackboard username and password?

  Emory University users: Log in using your University network id and password (identical to what's being used for OPUS/PeopleSoft or Webmail). If you are still having problems, call the IT HelpDesk at 404-727-7777.

  Emory Healthcare users: If you have dual roles, University and Healthcare, use your University network id and password to log in. If you are classified as Healthcare only, then use your EHC login id and password.

  Guests (non-Emory): If you are not University-sponsored, contact your site manager. They should have this information on file.
