Welcome to Blackboard

Blackboard is a web-based system that provides a simple, easy-to-understand way to develop and provide online materials for HSC courses or organizations.

What is Blackboard?

The Blackboard Learning & Community system at OUHSC is a computer-based, online tool for placing course content, resources and activities on the worldwide web (WWW). In addition to placing these materials on web pages, Blackboard enables both students and instructors to manage various aspects of courses and organizations, including creating, taking, submitting and grading assessments, as well as provides opportunities for extensive communication among and between course participants.

Logging Into Blackboard

To login into Blackboard, you must either (1) be an instructor, course developer, grader, or teaching assistant and have been entered into Blackboard as a user by the Blackboard Administrator, or (2) be a student in a Blackboard course in which case you will automatically be entered into Blackboard as a user prior to the beginning of the semester.

In either case, users will login using the OUHSC username and password provided by Information Technology and their sponsoring organization.
