This page is designed to show the basics of logging in to Canopy. It's fairly simple and similar to the old Blackboard, so you should catch on quickly.

After logging in, there is a lot of information to process. We will sort this out for you.

We will access the most vital part of blackboard; classes.

The calender is a nifty, hidden gem within the new Blackboard.

You can change colors! What more could you want?

In order to make sure your professors are on top of things, we will show you how to check your grades.

Learning modules are set up slightly differently in Canopy. We will explain them.

Your assignment submission looks slightly different in the new version. We will familiarize you with it.

They are dreaded, but hopefully our walk through of the various types of test and quizzes will ease the pain.

It's simple to connect with professors and peers through Canopy's email service.

Sharing group work has never been more simple with Blackboard's new Collaborate. We think you'll love it after you know how to use it.

For class discussion and course expansion, Canopy features a new discussion board that we will lay out for you.

While this page is meant to be a guide to help you, but we know that we are not the authoritative experts! With that being said, both of us still know a great deal about the new system because most of our classes for the Spring Semester of 2014 were on the new system. We have spent time researching and using the new system and this is the information that we think will help you! If you need more help than what is on this page, you can call the UCIT Blackboard help desk at (513)556-1602 or you can email them at blackboard@uc.edu.
