Often students, as well as faculty, are new to the online tools of a college and logging onto the learning management system (LMS) can be intimidating. The latter a student enters the class often contributes to the student not having enough time to complete course assignments or even knowing about the assignments. Needless to say, it is critical for student success to get the students familiar with the online learning environment quickly so that they can focus on learning. Sharing the video below as well as the PDF (downloadable below too) either from an email attachment or course hand out during the first day of class procatively addresses this issue and should increase your student success rate.
How do we get started?
You want to use the My SCCC Portal. You can get there, and then to Blackboard, by performing the following:
Go to the SCCC website (http://sunysccc.edu)
Select (click on) the MySCCC button in the top right corner. (it is the orange one)
Sign in using your email username and password to the SCCC Portal. If you do not know these, please contact the SCCC Help Desk at: (518) 381-1487
Look to the left column and notice the “Launchpad”
Scroll down and select (click on) the “BlackBoard” link
That is it. You are now in Blackboard. You should take a look at the institution page and notice your courses are on the top right corner as well as on the “courses” tab.
Now that you are in Blackboard, you can get started on completing your course work and getting your degree.
Below is a PDF you can download or print out to distribute to your students.
