Blackboard Tips

    Evening. I thought I'd take a minute to point out a couple of things about the Blackboard system that lecturers use for course notes and other "collaborative" activities (depending on the lecturer).

    - After you log in to the main UCD Connect portal, you can go there by hitting the "Blackboard" button. However, you can bypass UCD Connect by going directly to https://elearning.ucd.ie/ and logging in there. This is handy if UCD Connect is busy. (You can do that for Mail too: https://imap.ucd.ie/ )

    - Blackboard typically shows all your enrolled courses, even courses from previous semesters or years. To control which courses are displayed on the front page, click on the "pencil" icon to the right of the "My Courses" header. That way, you can make it show only your current courses.

    - I went there today, and it's currently a mess: only some of my courses are enrolled, and those have information left over from last year. You can expect the lecturers to remove stuff and change other stuff, so don't trust what you see there before the lecturer says it's OK.

    Any more tips?

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
