How will I know how to use Blackboard Learn?
On the university’s main Online Learning page, https://www.utech.edu.jm/onlinelearning you will find links to several resources including outlines, videos and guide sheets to help you become comfortable with navigating the system. Please explore the site to begin your personal orientation, before your first web-conferencing session with your lecturer.
The Office of Distance Learning (ODL) will also be conducting orientation sessions periodically, so look out for the notices on the UTech Broadcaster or your email.
How do I join my live video conferencing session with my lecturer?
Your online classes are held in the same room for the duration of the Semester on Blackboard Learn. Simply log into Blackboard Learn, identify and select the class you wish to join; on the left panel, select Join Session found under Blackboard Collaborate then select Course Room.
How do I find previous recordings of my classes?
All recorded Blackboard Collaborate sessions can be found by going directly to your class on Blackboard Learn. On the left panel select the three dots (…) beside Blackboard Collaborate, then select View all recordings
