My Bb@BU Page
Modules
The modules are the areas accessible to you and have been created by the System Administrator or the course instructor. They will show what courses you are teaching or enrolled in, what Organizations you are enrolled in, Announcements for classes you are enrolled in as well as system announcements put out by the Blackboard System Administrator, and a Report Card. There are other modules available through the control panel that instructors can add. I.e.: see "Internet News", "Today in History", and "Stock Prices" above. These optional modules can be manipulated through the use of the "Add Module" button in the upper left of the screen.
Tabs
The Tabs are created and maintained by the Blackboard Support Team and will not change. They include an Institution page (My Bb@BU), Courses, Organizations, Library, and Support.
