Technical Orientation
About the OrientationA new tool is available to help you brush up on your Blackboard and online skills. This orientation is a FREE, self-paced, non-credit course which may be started at any time before or during the term. A facilitator is available to help answer questions (see contact information below).
For maximum benefit, we encourage you to complete this orientation by the end of week two of the term. Most students report spending about three hours on completing the components of this online orientation.

Before you begin, note that you will be asked for an email address. If you do not already have one through another service, as a current LBCC student you may apply for an email account at www.linnbenton.edu/go/netmail/apply .
Step 1. Once you have read (or printed) these steps, go to blackboard.linnbenton.edu .

Step 3. At the top left, click on the
tab, then in the "Course Search" box type "Blackboard Orientation" and click the
