Blackboard Resources
Every class at IRSC has access to an online course shell powered by the Blackboard Learning Management System. Blackboard is available through your desktop, laptop computer, and mobile device. You can also listen to online lectures by phone through Blackboard Collaborate.
The Blackboard Browser Support page gives some information about browser, devices, and operating systems.
Students can download course content to be viewed offline! Make sure to download content when connected to wi-fi to avoid using data.
Technical support for Blackboard is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Check out this page to understand the computer settings needed to run Blackboard Collaborate. Blackboard Collaborate support can be reached toll-free at 877-382-2293.
The Blackboard Collaborate web conferencing tool allows you to connect virtually with your class, making it seem like you’re in the same room with your professor and classmates, no matter your location or device.
You can access Collaborate from inside your Blackboard courses, from the Blackboard app or from a direct link or telephone number provided by your professor.
Short, on-demand videos will show you how to successfully use the tools in your Blackboard courses.
