Blackboard is an online learning environment where instructors and students interact. Courses are available 4 - 6 weeks before classes begin. Only classes for which you are the "faculty of record" will be listed. If your classes are not listed by that time, visit the Technology Support Help Desk and request assistance. Create an online space for your class by requesting a Course Shell from Technology Support. Once a shell has been created, you can access your Blackboard course through the my.utep.edu web page.
• Send messages and emails to your students.
• Upload assignments and documents for your students.
• Create online discussion groups, quizzes, and tests.
• Create a custom Course Shell for your class.
