Opening 2 Sessions of Blackboard at One Time – Step-by-Step Tutorial .pdf File

It’s beneficial to have two sessions of Blackboard open at one time when working through our training or when you need to compare courses. IMPORTANT NOTE: You should open two separate browsers: One in FireFox and One in Chrome. Do NOT open two windows in the same browser.

Directions:
