Accessing Blackboard Learn for Online Instruction

Western is currently using Blackboard Learn as its online course management system. Some courses are online only, some hybrid (online and in-person meetings), and some are “traditional” in-person courses.  Although traditional courses are in-person, some classes may have material posted in the online environment.  Please check with your instructor.  Just as with on-ground classes, the work required to complete an online course varies by course.  The advantage of an online course is that you have greater flexibility in accessing your course work.  There’s no driving to campus, no parking hassles, and you can work around your life’s events.  Online classes, however, do require time management skills and discipline.

Blackboard Learn uses your Western account credentials to gain access. Inquiries about accounts and other related IT services can be found at https://support.wcsu.edu/

Open a web browser, and go to https://wcsu.blackboard.com. The following screen will appear:

Enter your Username and Password, and click Login. Your username and password uses the same log on credentials as your WestConn/Windows account. If your password has expired or you need to reset your password, please visit https://wcsu.edu/password.

My Institution page          

This is your “home” page. The main WCSU tab will list all of your courses.  Note: not all courses may be populated with information -this is at the discretion of the instructor.  The main WCSU tab will also list other information – and the Global Navigation menu will give you quick access to items:

Most  ‘modules’ on the MY WCSU sub tab may be collapsed, modified, or moved – while some are required and cannot be changed. You can customize this page by clicking on the Add Module button, or personalize this page by clicking on the Personalize Page button. Note: The Notifications Dashboard sub tab will give you information about assignments, announcements, etc. from your courses.

Accessing My Course

Click on your course title link in the Course List module. You can modify your display settings by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the module.

Logging out of Blackboard Learn

Click the Logout button in the top right of your screen. It is important that you log out of Blackboard Learn before you exit the browser.
