Blackboard

Faculty must flag courses prior to the start of the semester!

If you would like to use the Blackboard Course Management System, please email the GCC Blackboard Administrator to have your course(s) flagged. She will need the following information:

  1. Your course(s) (example: ENG101)
  2. Your section number(s) (example: 4551)
  3. Which semester you are teaching this course (example: Fall 2005)
  4. Your contact information. (gcmail or the email address you prefer)

Logging into Blackboard

  1. Open your Internet Explorer browser and go to https://ecourses.maricopa.edu/webapps/login/
  2. Click on User Login button.
  3. Enter your Enterprise ID* for "username".
  4. Enter your MEMO email password in the "password" field, then "submit"
  5. You should see a screen that says "Welcome (your name)"
  6. Listed on that screen should be any classes you requested to be flagged, click on the class name to get to the class. You should also see the Bb User Group class. If you do not see your classes, please let the Blackboard Administrator know.

If you have never used Blackboard before, we recommend you take one of the training sessions offered by the GCC TED Center. Or, if you are familiar with technology and other course management systems, it isn't too hard to pick up. You will probably want to vist the Maricopa's Blackboard Support Center and direct your students to the Blackboard Basics Student Guide. Printable guides and animated tutorials are available at GCC Online Tutorials.

If you have a MEMO (gcmail) email account, you will have an Enterprise ID.

If you do not have a MEMO account, you will probably want to get one so you are included in important campus communications and your students have a way to contact you.

To get a MEMO account, have your Department Secretary call the Helpdesk at Ext. 53555 Option 3 to request one for you.
