Online classes at GWC are delivered through a course management software called Blackboard.

After you follow the procedure listed on page 1, Step 2; you come to a page called "My Blackboard". This is a central location that allows you to access all of your online courses from one location without reentering your username and password. My Blackboard also contains numerous other features, including:

• Announcements from the course administrator
• Links to college resources, such as bookstore and library
• Campus Announcements
• Calendar Information

To enter a specific course just click on its title on your My Blackboard page. That will take you to the course Home Page. It contains a course menu at left, and many icons (pictures), which represent the many tools within the course.

Each instructor selects the appropriate tools to be used in a particular course so that not all courses contain all the tools listed below.
