Upgrade to Blackboard 7 - Help tutorial videos
Blackboard Inc. has produced a number of on-line videos to demonstrate many of Blackboard's features. Please note that, since these videos were produced by Blackboard Inc., and not by Academic Computing at Dartmouth College, the instance of Blackboard shown in the videos looks different from our Blackboard implementation at Dartmouth.
