Distance Education Online

First, see if you and your computer are ready to take an online course.

Next, browse online courses.

Blackboard Login and Password

At ENMU we use Blackboard, a computer program, to deliver online courses. The first thing you'll need to do, after you've been accepted to the University and registered for classes, is to activate your electronic accounts. This will activate your e-mail account. In most online classes, you are required to use your ENMU e-mail account for correspondence.

The Blackboard Vista 8 system uses the network (email) login as the username and the ENMU ID number as the password. (For instance, if my name is Edwina Gardinier and my email network login is "gardinie3", I would use gardinie3 as the username. I would use my ENMU ID number as the password to login.)

What if I don’t know my network (email) login?
Go to the http://itsweb.enmu.edu website
Click on Student Account Activation
Read the Policies and check both boxes at the bottom of the page, then enter your information – Click on Submit. Your information will appear on the next page after you submit the form.

Is your computer ready for Blackboard?
Use the Browser Tune Up located at http://www.webct.com/tuneup to check if your computer is ready to run Blackboard.

To log in:

1. Go to the ENMU home page.
2. Under the Current Students menu, click on Blackboard.
3. Log in to your class.

Online class information should be available two weeks before traditional classes start meeting. You might also want to call your professor. Professors may be out of their offices during interim periods between semesters, until a few days before the class starts.

To set up your e-mail account and all electronic accounts (such as Blackboard), click here, then read and follow the directions. After you agree to follow the policy, you will be asked for some information, and then you'll be given your login and password.

Blackboard Tutorial

After you have signed in to your Blackboard course, you can access a tutorial with pointers on how to succeed in online curricula. This tutorial includes mock-ups of all of the components in a typical class and is available in every course.
