Orientation for Blackboard Online Classes
 We are excited about the new term of online classes and want to start you off with all the information you need to be successful.
Blackboard student orientation is REQUIRED for all students taking BPCC online courses for the first time. It's also beneficial if you want to refresh your memory about taking an online course. Blackboard orientation is available online or face-to-face. If you are ready NOW, click on the Take Orientation Now link. If you would like a face-to-face orientation, plan to attend one of the following sessions listed at the bottom of this page.
If you live outside of Caddo, Bossier, or Webster Parishes, please email or call us to receive an orientation CD-ROM. You may also pick up a copy from the Educational Technology Department, Building D, Room 217.
