Over the next several semesters, Canvas will be replacing Blackboard as OHIO's preferred learning management system (LMS). To foster a positive student experience, colleges are transitioning to Canvas in phases. You may have some courses using Blackboard, while other courses use Canvas or a different technology.
To find where your courses will be taught:
Log in to Blackboard at blackboard.ohio.edu. Navigate to your "Courses" tab in the left navigation menu. Blackboard will populate every course you’re currently enrolled in but the courses will appear locked until your instructor makes them available to you.
If the courses are locked, select “More Info” to see if your instructor provided additional information about which tools your course will be using.
If the courses are open, you’ll likely be using Blackboard.
If your courses are not open in Blackboard, check Canvas. Log in to Canvas at canvas.ohio.edu. Look for your courses on your Dashboard page or in the "Courses" tab in the left navigation menu.
Tip: Both Blackboard and Canvas can be accessed via the Go OHIO app.
If you’re unsure which platform your course will use, please email your instructor. They can tell you where the course is being taught and when it will become available.
For more information, visit Troubleshooting access to your Blackboard course.
Become familiar with various features and tools available inside each of your courses.
