Blackboard Academic Suite

Blackboard Academic Suite™
Blackboard is a Saint Marys College official Web-based learning management system. Using Blackboard, faculty can provide students with course materials, discussion boards, virtual chat, online quizzes, an academic resource center, and much more. Instructors may supplement a traditional face-to-face class by putting important announcements, their syllabus, and handouts on their Blackboard course sites. Other courses may be conducted entirely through Blackboard, without any on-campus sessions.

User Login

New Login Format
Beginning July 6th, you will begin signing into Blackboard using your SMCNet / Email password, instead of a separate password just for Blackboard. For many of you, these two passwords may already be the same, in which case nothing will change. To test your SMCNet password, go to SMCNet

BLACKBOARD MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Blackboard will be unavailable from 7:00am to 9:00am the last Wednesday of each month. This service time will enable regular patches and upgrades of the system, and hence better service. We will post a system announcement one week in advance.
We regret any inconvenience this may cause.

IN-CLASS DEMONSTRATIONS OF BLACKBOARD
Instructional Technology support offers to the faculty in class demonstrations of BlackBoard. One of the members of the Instructional Technology team will attend a class and give a short 15 minute demonstration on BlackBoard. They will present an overview of Blackboard to the students, test to confirm their account works and answer any question your students might have.
