Welcome to online learning at Seattle Pacific University. Our goal is to help you gain confidence in using the SPU Blackboard system and provide you with an opportunity to focus your attention on the content of a course rather than the technology. So please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the resources for faculty and students.
If you are new to the SPU Blackboard system, please take a moment to:
- Learn how to access your course site
- Make sure your computer meets recommended hardware and software specifications
- Download the latest plugins
- Download and use a recommended browser
If you are an instructor using Blackboard for the first time, please take a moment to review the Blackboard Quick Start Guide. It walks you through:
- Viewing your course roster
- Making your course site available to students
- Modifying the course navigation menu
- Adding announcements
- Posting documents and links to other sites
- Creating a collection point for an assignment
- Creating a forum on the Discussion Board
And if you need any assistance with the SPU Blackboard system at any time, please feel free to contact us.
