I would like to add Blackboard to my favorites in Internet Explorer. How do I do that?

Go to the UT Tyler web site (www.uttyler.edu)

Scroll down and select the Blackboard Icon.

When the Blackboard Home Page is visible, right-click anywhere in the page.

A menu will appear. Look in the center for the option "Add to Favorites...".

After selecting this, a text box will appear asking you how you would like to name the new favorite.

The default is usually the actual name of the web page (Blackboard Learning System™ (Release 6)).

Click "OK" to finish.

You should be able to access the Blackboard Home Page via this link (favorite).

When I log into Blackboard, I have to "login" twice before I can access Blackboard. Why?

You are trying access Blackboard 6 through the "Login" page and not the Blackboard Home Page.

Please see the FAQ "I would like to add Blackboard to my favorites in Internet Explorer. How do I do that?"

The Blackboard link on the UT Tyler web page (www.uttyler.edu) will successfully take you through the pages to login correctly.
