How To Use The Discussion Board
Login to Blackboard, click on the JCJC Student tab, and then click on your course name.
After clicking on the course name, you will be taken to the Blackboard course site containing all the information for your course.

After clicking on Discussion Board, you will see any forums, or discussions, that have been created by your instructor. Read the information in the forum, and then click the title of the forum to enter your response.

After clicking on the title, you will see any posts by other students. To start a new post (i.e. enter your response), click the "+Thread" button.

After clicking the "+ Thread" button, you will then need to enter your response. Enter a title for your post (something related to the topic), and then enter your response in the Message box.

After entering your response, hit SUBMIT at the very bottom. Please note that clicking the SAVE button will not publish your post. You MUST click the SUBMIT button for your instructor to see your work.

After submitting your post, you will see all posts from every student for that discussion topic or forum. To make sure your post has been published, check the status of the post.
