** Watch out: The time of the Blackboard is "Eastern Time" of the USA because the server is located in the Kean New Jersey. 

Please consider the American Blackboard time when you set up your Remote / Online Class time! 

 

** Instructors must set the time of class in Eastern Time (New Jersey Time).

Then, Students will get adjusted time according to their places. 

 

*** In several cases, The time could be set as your local Time automatically (probably thanks to the automatic time zone setting). Please double-check the time zone setting in your machine. 

 

 

* Several courses are still in the old server, and it keeps the old structure.

** June 28, 2020: Kean University has launched Zoom Service (Tentative alternative to Blacbkboard Remote / Online Class) 

 

 

We are excited to announce that Kean University has launched Zoom as our new web conferencing solution.  We have selected Zoom for its simplicity and reliability, not to mention consistency across devices for a seamless user experience.

 

Included in the Kean University site-license is cloud recording capability, extended meeting time limit from 40 minutes to 24 hours up to 300 participants.

7. How to add course materials at Blackboard (Course Contents Menu Making)? 

 

Professor Yifei & Dave Gibson's Guide (2021. Sept. 02): 

I guess for the new users maybe we have to build the "course content" item by ourselves. Just click the "+" and you will find "content area", then type in the name and make it available to all users. then you'll have a blank page of course content and you may build the content as you like
