Your online class will be offered in a special software environment called Blackboard Vista. Blackboard Vista allows you to experience many of the same activities that you would complete in an on-campus class. These activities include online lectures, assignments, quizzes, discussions, and email, which provides private communication between you and your instructor (or other students).

You will be able to access your Blackboard Vista online classroom from anywhere that you have Internet access. The classroom is dynamic, so the work you and your classmates do will be visible immediately. Your instructor has designed your online class to be equivalent to the on-campus version of the same class. The Blackboard Vista environment helps you and your instructor communicate and complete all of the online class activities and assignments.

This introduction will answer these questions for you:

1. Where Is My Online Class?
2. What Are My User Name & Password?
3. How Do I Log On To Blackboard Vista?
