Q: I already know how to use Blackboard from teaching at another college. Do I still need to complete Bb Basics training?

A: Yes, you do. There are a few ways to do that - on-campus workshops, the "Bb Challenge" session, or "Bb Basics Online (BBO)" training. There is important information in this training that explains not only about the version of Blackboard we use, but how we use it at Mt. SAC.
