Go to mail.maine.edu and scroll down to Account Activation (Activation Key Required).
You will need your activation key which should have come through the registrar's office or the department that supports your course. If you do not have it, you should be able to get help from the helpdesk (207-780-4029) OR at the Information Commons in the library.
Here is a video that explains the steps.

Is Your Computer Ready for Online Learning?
You will need the latest version of Quicktime Movie Player if your instructor uses videos online.
You can test your computer's readiness for online learning by logging into Blackboard and clicking on the Help, Tips, and Updates tab. More readiness info.
Please note that Google Chrome is still not listed as compatible with Blackboard. While many functions in Blackboard will work in Chrome, some are very problematic, for example, online quizzing.

File naming and attachments in Blackboard
Blackboard 9.1 uses a new file management system that requires all of us to remember proper file naming and file attachment procedures.
In general, this means that filenames should contain only alpha-numeric characters (letters and numbers, no spaces, no punctuation other than a dot).
File attachments should be in .doc, .ppt, .xls, .pdf, or .txt format unless otherwise allowed by your instructor. Keep filenames short (under 30 characters).
