Where are my classes? Accordion Closed<\/span><\/h4>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n
\n \n\n

If you are having trouble viewing your classes and\/or they are not showing up when you log into Bb Learn, they may be hidden or the class itself may not have started yet. To check for hidden courses, use the Filter drop-down in the Courses list to look for “Hidden from me.” For more help see My Course List<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

My teacher said to click a link \u201con the left,\u201d but there aren\u2019t any links over there. Where are they? Accordion Closed<\/span><\/h4>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n
\n \n\n

There are two ways you may have hidden the left course navigation pane when inside a course on Bb Learn.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 1. Collapsed vertically: If you see the navigation menu to the left but only see the name of the course, check the triangle to the left of the course name. If it is pointing to the right, you’ve collapsed the menu; click the triangle to expand the menu. The menu items under the course name should appear, and the triangle will now point down.<\/li>\n
  2. 2. Collapsed horizontally: If you don’t see a navigation menu at all to the left you have probably collapsed the entire menu; this can also happen automatically if you are on a phone or other device with less screen space. Move your pointer to the left of the course area; you should see a grayish bar with an arrow pointing to the right. Click on that arrow to expand the course menu out to the right.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    1. First try to clear your browser’s cache<\/a>.<\/li>\n
    2. If clearing the cache did not work, check and make sure your software is all up to date (e.g., Adobe Reader<\/a>) and that you are using a supported browser<\/a> (try switching browsers).<\/li>\n
    3. If it still isn’t working contact the Student Technology Center<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      How do I submit an assignment (with or without an attachment)? Accordion Closed<\/span><\/h4>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n
      \n \n\n

      To submit a document in Bb Learn first open up the assignment designated by the instructor. Under the text box window there is the capability to attach a file. Select the Browse My Computer button, your document, select open, and then submit.<\/p>\n

      In the case of inserting text into an assignment text box, it is strongly recommended you first type your assignment in a text editor such as Microsoft Word and then copy and paste it into the text field within Bb Learn, and then select submit. However, you may also type your assignment directly into the text box and select submit.<\/p>\n

      For more detailed information on submitting assignments see How to Upload or Attach in Bb Learn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

      How do I create a discussion post or reply? Accordion Closed<\/span><\/h4>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n
      \n \n\n

      To create a discussion post\/reply, simply log into Bb Learn. From your homepage select the course that you want to create your discussion in.  You will either see a discussion board link on the left hand side of the screen inside the course navigation pane, or a tools link. Select discussion if it is there and create a thread or open one and respond to it. If there is not a discussion link, select tools and scroll to find the discussion board icon.<\/p>\n

      If you have a discussion board link from your instructor, select it and create a thread or post by choosing the desired discussion.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
