Blackboard 9 Instructors

This page was created to answer some of the questions we anticipate receiving the most from professors regarding our new Blackboard 9 server. The PDFs provided here are only meant to serve as brief guides to Blackboard 9, not as a complete training experience. We will be having weekly training sessions throughout the summer in order to help prepare you for the Fall 2012 semester, and the schedule for those sessions is located at the very bottom of this page. Please don't feel obligated to wait until a training session to have your questions answered! Rather, call or email Academic Computing for assistance at (610) 519-5538 or academiccomputing@law.villanova.edu.

Our new Blackboard server is available at http://elearning.villanova.edu

***PLEASE NOTE*** You will need to log onto the server with your Villanova University main campus username and password. If you do not know your Villanova University main campus username and password, you can reset it by following the instructions at https://vusecure.villanova.edu/vusecurity/passwordSelfReset
