Using Blackboard IM

As part of this course, you will have access to Blackboard Instant Messenger (IM). You can use this tool to send messages to fellow classmates and your instructor. Alternatively, you can use the email function.

In order to use the Blackboard IM tool, you will need to install the Blackboard IM client on your computer. Once the chat client is installed on your computer, you can contact your peers directly with this tool.

The following video provides an overview of Blackboard IM.

Note: Please check with your instructor or the course materials for Office Hours.
