Below are links to both Adobe Acrobat (pdf) and Microsoft Word (doc) versions of the instructor and user manuals for Blackboard V7. Please note that there are certain topics in the manuals that do not apply to the way Blackboard is configured at BSU.

The major difference is that course creation and deletion, user management, and course enrollment are handled outside of Blackboard at BSU through the "Blackboard Toolbox". This allows for Blackboard courses to be created and populated with students based on the official BSU class roster. Therefore, topics under "Course Creation Wizard" and non-group related topics under "User Management" are not relevant.

Also please disregard any references to the Blackboard "Content System" which we do not license at BSU. Instead each student and employee has 2 gigabytes of disk storage available to them for personal use through the "iLocker" service. Additional information on iLocker can be found at http://www.bsu.edu/web/ucs/ilocker

If you have any questions concerning the applicability of specific topics in the manuals, please call the UCS Helpdesk (285-1517) or email them at helpdesk@bsu.edu for clarification.
