Student preview of Blackboard

Login from your my.monash portal

1. You can go directly to your course list on your Blackboard home page by clicking the link in the 'Study' section of your 'Study and enrolment' tab.

2. You can access all the resources available on the MUSO login page from your portal's 'Study' section, including support for Blackboard.

Note: Your portal will be the single point of access for Blackboard. If the portal is offline the portal login screen will provide an alternative link to Blackboard.

Blackboard home

1. 'Blackboard home' will be the new name for your 'My MUSO' tab.

2. The course list will display the availability dates for each section. Availability dates specify the period during which you will be able to access each section.

Section home page

1. In Blackboard the horizontal tool bar along the top of the MUSO section pages will be replaced by the 'Course tools' and 'My tools' menus located down the left side of the screen. You can minimise these menus to display only the menu icons, giving you less clutter and more room on the page for your applications.

2. You can minimise the tools menus even further to hide their icons, making the page even less cluttered.

Further information and support

MUSO Support will continue to support Blackboard and will make futher information on using Blackboard available to you closer to the Blackboard launch date.

Remember, 'MUSO' (ie Vista 3) will be unavailable between Wednesday 21 and Monday 26 November 2007, during which time it will be upgraded to 'Blackboard' (ie Vista 4).
