Welcome to Blackboard CourseInfo!

 

You can reach your course site by going to the following URL: http://blackboard.unc.edu/courses/nurs117001f01

 

Logging in

To access the site, you will need to enter your ONYEN and ONYEN password. Your ONYEN is the part of your UNC-CH email address preceding @email.unc.edu. The ONYEN password is the one you use to access your email.unc.edu account.

 

If you get error messages when trying to log into the course site, please contact the IT Response Center at 919-962-HELP for assistance.

Important! For campus students - Do not use the computers in the libraries dedicated to library catalogs and databases. These computers do not permit you to log into or out of CourseInfo.

Getting Acquainted with CourseInfo

Once you have logged in, you will notice navigation buttons on the left and a main area to the right for Announcements. Clicking the navigation buttons will display other areas within the site. Explore them to find where important information, assignments, and communication tools are located.

 

For further information about using CourseInfo, consult the online student manual at http://blackboard.unc.edu/common/smanual/index.html. You can also reach this page from within the course itself by clicking on the Student Tools button and then the Student Manual icon.

Updating Information about Yourself in CourseInfo

Toward the top of the browser window, you will notice your first and last name. Perhaps you prefer that others call you by your middle name or by a nickname. You can edit the name CourseInfo currently displays for you and update the email address other CourseInfo users might use to contact you. To make these sorts of changes, click on the Student Tools button. You’ll now see options to Change Your Information and Edit Your Home Page.

 

Any changes to your personal information or your homepage will apply throughout CourseInfo, in every course site in which you are enrolled as a member. In other words, you cannot customize your personal information for each course or create separate homepages.

 

If you Change Your Information, you might notice the fields for Username and Password. Despite appearances, you cannot actually change your username and password in CourseInfo. Your log in information is drawn from the ONYEN database.

 

Printing Tips

Printing out materials in CourseInfo can be a bit tricky. The interface you see displays several files in the same window—it’s what’s known in web authoring circles as a frameset. If you simply hit the Print button on your browser’s toolbar, you might not get the results you were hoping for.

 

If you’re using Netscape Navigator:

  1. Position your mouse somewhere in the text you want to print.
  2. Click the right mouse button.
  3. Choose Open Frame in New Window.
  4. In the new window that opens, click the Print button on the toolbar.

 

If you’re using Internet Explorer:

  1. Click once somewhere in the text you want to print.
  2. Go to the File menu and choose Print.
  3. Click on the Options tab.
  4. Make sure that “Only the selected frame” is selected.
  5. Then click Print.
