Blackboard Learn On Demand Tutorials

This is the same content you will find at Blackboard's On Demand website, but organized on a single page, by category, to make searching easier. All tutorials refer to Blackboard Learn version 9.1, but because the product is very customizable, your system may look somewhat different from the examples. Video tutorials have a video camera icon. Printable tutorials have a PDF icon. All videos open in a new window. Depending on the speed of your internet connection, videos may take a while to load. Most videos are under three minutes in length. Videos require the free Flash plug-in. PDFs require the free Adobe Reader. Click on any link below to expand/collapse the hierarchy. If you prefer, try the fully expanded view of this page. Videos for Students are found on another page.
