CR| Blackboard | Student Introduction

Blackboard is College of the Redwoods' online, web-based learning platform. It provides faculty and students an innovative way to share information and ideas and to communicate with each other outside of the classroom experience.

To access Blackboard for your course, you will need to login using your Username and Password.

Course Pages

The structure of all Blackboard courses is basically the same. When you enter the course, you will see the Announcements page or a content page as set by your instructor.

There are navigation links on the left-hand side of the page that you will use to enter content and communication areas of the course. Your instructor will give you further instructions about where to look for course content.
