Blackboard Course Environment

All Framingham State College course sites contain similar elements including an Announcement Page, Menu Panel and Course Tools. It is important to note, however, that not all instructors use the same menu items or course options.

To navigate a course, click a link listed in the menu panel on the left, as shown in the graphic below. Select the items in the separate Tools box to access Communication options or Course Tools.
