This web page introduces the essentials of using Blackboard Learn at Loyola University New Orleans. It is designed primarily for instructors with little or no experience using a Learning Management System.
CLICK HERE to log in to Blackboard for Loyola New Orleans (located at loyno.blackboard.com).
Your username is your 8-digit Campus Wide ID number. If you've never logged in before, your starter password is the first two letters of your first name followed by the last four digits of your Social Security Number. You can change your password inside of Blackboard at any time (make sure you can remember the new password). To change your password, log in to Blackboard then click on your name near the top of the gray panel on the left side of the Blackboard screen, then click on "Change Password."
If you are unfamiliar with logging in to Blackboard and navigating inside of it, CLICK HERE to visit Loyola's Blackboard Orientation pages. You might want to review "Part 1: Logging In" and "Part 2: Navigating Blackboard."
