Learn the Basics of Navigating and Using Online@UT (Blackboard)
You are likely visiting this web site because your instructor is using Online@UT, and

Online@UT is the course management system selected by the University in 1997.
Blackboard is the software underlying Online@UT, and you will often hear these terms
used interchangeably. To access Online@UT, you will need to know your university
NetID and password--this is the same information you use to access your UT email account. View
