Welcome

 

Welcome to the resource page for Mississippi University for Women's Blackboard Learn, Release 9.1.

 

As many of you know, our current learning management system, WebCT, was acquired by Blackboard in 2006. As a result, MUW plans to phase out our current WebCT system during the Fall 2010 term and operate from its newly purchased Blackboard Learn, Release 9.1 learning management system at the beginning of the Spring 2011 term. Even though this change may seem a little intimidating, MUW's support team is dedicated to making sure that this transition is as smooth as possible.

Logging into Blackboard (video)

 

               Username:  Your MUW ID number.

               Password:   Your birth date in the form of MMDDYY.
 

3.





 

If you do not have a current MUW email address, please visit McDevitt Hall room 115 or call 329-7282 and request one.  MUW email addresses are loaded into Blackboard from Banner.  If you do not have an MUW email address listed in Banner, "none@muw.edu" is loaded as your current email address until it is fixed.  Changing your email address in Blackboard will not work.  Anything changed in Blackboard will be overwritten by the content listed in Banner during the next run of our automated process.
 

4.



 

Students should appear in Blackboard automatically after registering for a course.  During registration day, the Blackboard instructors and users should be updated every hour or two.  After registration, the rosters and users should be updated during the morning and night.
