Technical Requirements for Participating in PSU Online Courses
Technical Information for Participating in BlackBoard CE6 Courses
In spring, 2008 Portland State University is moving to the Blackboard CE 6 Learning Management system for online courses. This upgrade provides students and faculty with a better, easier to use learning environment for their online and Web-supported classes.
PSU has provided an interactive student orientation to Blackboard site for students. All PSU students are automatically enrolled in that site for spring and it will appear on your My Blackboard page upon login. Login to Blackboard here: http://www.psuonline.pdx.edu.
Please feel free to contact the PSU User Support Services by emailing help@pdx.edu or by phone at 503-725-4357 if you need assistance.
