Review these resources to familiarize yourself with the basic Blackboard Learn environment.

UAA Blackboard Course Templates

All courses in the course schedule with a course reference number or CRN automatically have a Blackboard shell created for them previous to each semester start. To find your course shells log in to UA Learn using your university credentials. Each shell is not available for the students to view until the faculty member changes the status. During this time faculty do have access to add materials, design their course structure and even copy previous course materials from one semester to another before classes begin.

A great thing about UA Learn is that all UA students log into a single instance of Blackboard, so if you have students taking classes from multiple campus' they will find all of their courses listed together in one account.
