Blackboard is an online application that you can use to create web sites for your courses. Starting in Fall 2005, we will be using a new version of Blackboard at Hunter. Blackboard 6 has many new features that make it easier to customize your course and manage course content.

Here's how to get started with Blackboard 6:


Create a CUNY portal account
You must have a portal account to access Blackboard 6. Once you have a portal account, Blackboard 6 can be accessed through the CUNY Portal or through the Blackboard doorway.

Accessing your Blackboard site
Hunter no longer requires course request forms for Blackboard sites. All instructors are provided with Blackboard course sites. You need to be listed by name as an instructor. If you are listed as "Staff," please refer to your department and ask them to make the necessary changes.

Encourage your students to register for the portal
Your students will also need portal accounts to access your course on Blackboard 6. You can encourage them to register for the portal before the beginning of the semester by going to your Blackboard course site and sending an email to all students registered for your class. Students can visit http://bb.hunter.cuny.edu for more information about Blackboard 6 and how to register for the portal.

Learn more about Blackboard 6 features
Whether you are a brand new Blackboard user or an experienced Blackboard 5 user, the TRC has documents that can help you make effective use of Blackboard 6. If you're an experienced Blackboard user, look at our Top Ten List of things Blackboard 5 users should know about Blackboard 6.
