We are sure that you are going to love this new feature. The Calendar is automatically populated with all of your assignments from all of your classes and organizations that you are a member of in blackboard (it even color-codes events!). To get there, simply log into the blackboard system, and then from the home screen click on "calendar." Because you can customize your home screen, the link might be in a different location than in the photograph below.
Getting There
Once you're there
This is what the calendar looks like. Notice that it has all of the due dates for your assignments and what course that assignment belongs too. If you click on a class or group on the left side, it will toggle wither or not events and assignmetns from that group will be displayed or not. It is also good to note that you can actually export the calendar from blackboard to other calendars, such as Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook's Calendar. Simply click on "Get External Calendar Link" in the lower left corner and follow the appropriate steps to import to the calendar of your choosing.
Even More Features
If you want to know more about an assignment, simply click on that assignment and then a screen similar to the one below should appear. You can even go to the assignment from this screen. Simply click "Go to this Assignment" and then you will be there!
